tuoksuvivujen

Tuoksuvivujen, also known as the musk deer, is a species of deer native to the boreal forests of northern Eurasia. It is characterized by its distinctive, musky scent, which is produced by a pair of scent glands located on its forehead. This scent is used for marking territory and attracting mates. The musk deer is medium-sized, with a body length of about 1.5 meters and a shoulder height of around 70 centimeters. It has a reddish-brown coat in the summer, which turns grayish-brown in the winter. The musk deer is a solitary animal, except during the mating season, and is primarily herbivorous, feeding on a variety of plants. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, but its population is declining due to habitat loss and hunting. The musk deer plays a significant role in the ecosystem, as it helps to disperse seeds and maintain the health of the boreal forest.
