315. Moschus fuscus Li, 1981

Common name: Black Musk Deer

Myanmar name:

Distribution: Bhutan, Southern China, Northeastern India and Nepal. In Myanmar, a sample was recorded in Putao Township, Kachin State (Lwin et al. 2021).

Remarks: The species was described as Siberian musk deer M. moschiferus in “ Wild Mammals of Myanmar ”; however, M. moschiferus is distributed in Northeast Asia. Thus, the musk deer in Myanmar could possibly be M. fuscus (Pan et al. 2015), however, further taxonomic study is needed. This species is an endangered and completely protected species of Myanmar.
