Letter K for the long forgotten #endangeredanimalalphabet #series : The Kashmir musk deer
The Kashmir musk deer is an endangered species of small fanged deer native to the Afghanistan, india, and pakistan regions. This deer is one of 7 similar types of musk deer that are endangered due to habitat loss and because of poachers hunting them to death for their scent glands that are used in perfumes and rumored to be an aphrodisiac .
😥 While looking up photos of endangered animal it’s not uncommon for me to find photos of dead animals for whatever I’m researching but for this one… I found hundreds of ebay listings for parts of this endangered animal. It was awful. If you have time I would encourage you to go on ebay to report any and all endangered animal parts being sold. 😤☠👎
