Chinese Water Deer: The Herbivore With a Pair of Sabre Teeth

Cozy up with a tea and learn with me as we learn about the Chinese Water Deer, also called the Vampire Deer. You can listen attentively, let your mind wander, or go to sleep while we reflect together on the wonders of wildlife. Today we explore things like their fangs, history, and a reproductive strategy unique among deers.
