It is 70 to 80 cm long, 45 to 50 cm high at the shoulder, and weighs 6 to 9 kg. The forest musk deer is mainly distributed in Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan and other places in China. It lives in coniferous or broad-leaved and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests at an altitude of 2,000 to 3,800 meters. A few wander in the bushland of low and medium mountains. Most of them are active between dusk and dawn, eating and resting alternately.
