The Alpine Musk Deer - Moschus chyrosgaster - is a shy and solitary animal endemic to the eastern Himalaya. Living in forests between 3000 and 4000 meters, this small deer is a treat to observe in the wild.
The male has a Musk gland that has for centuries been used in perfume and sought after as an aphrodisiac. With the advent of guns the pressure on these animals has increased. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed the species as endangered, which indicates a decreasing population trend. In Sagarmatha National Park these deer inhabit the rhododendron and deciduous forests. The small deer has incisors that do not hide within the mouth.
The regional name, kasturi, extends across the Himalayan habitat. This animal was balancing on a rhododendron branch in the early morning light after a light snowfall the previous evening. In the winter they graze in the moss hanging from nearby branches.
If you enjoy nature and observing animals take a look at @inaturalistorg , an app that helps you identify plants and animals. It’s a neat way to be part of the scientific community.
The short clip was taken on 28 January near Phortse, Nepal. Part of my morning is to hike around and quietly observe. The Danphe and Musk Deer are frequently visible. I have yet to see a snow leopard, the predator (aside from humans) that is part of this herbivores existence.
If you are trekking in any of the National Parks of Nepal please don’t feed the feral dogs. The dogs know how to endear themselves to tourists and manage to get enough treats to be healthy. In the off season the dogs are a threat to wildlife.
