And science can prove it!
The Vampire Deer
It may look like Mother Nature is messing with us, but the South Korean musk deer is a gentle herbivore that has no interest in sucking blood. At first blush, its protruding fangs are puzzling. Fortunately, the “fangs” are actually sabers that the males use to fight during the mating season.
The vampire deer is hunted by humans but not for its tusks. Male Siberian musk deer (Moschus moschiferus) are poached for its scent glands (worth nearly $20,455 per pound on the black market.) Their musk is so valuable to the perfume market that the species has almost been hunted to extinction. And then, sadly, it will become mythical.
