We thought we had gotten rid of deer with huge friggin’ fangs decades ago. We were wrong.
Researchers with the Wildlife Conservation Society have found a Kashmir musk deer in northeastern Afghanistan. It’s the first one observed since 1948. While finding a rare deer doesn’t seem like big news, it’s particularly concerning that this deer has long fangs that hang out of its mouth.
There’s also the whole thing about surviving in a country that’s been the scene of one war or another for the past 30 years that makes this even scarier.
