Tonight I have been watching baseball and experiencing Baseball Memories.

Since the game went to extra innings, I had to find something quick to write about.

I took a look in one of my Grandma’s Scrapbooks and decided to share one of the many clippings that she saved of Walt Disney’s True Life Adventures. The clipping is from a 1957 scrapbook.

Deer up a Tree

When pursued, the Himalayan Musk Deer will run up the trunk of a slanting tree and hide among the branches and foliage.

I decided to learn more about the Himalayan Musk Deer and found out that it has a Conservation Status of endangered.

The Himalayan Musk Deer (Moschus leucogaster) does have natural predators including leopards, lynx and foxes, but the worst predators are the poachers.

Even though the Himalayan Musk Deer is protected in most countries, the musk of the male is so valuable that it is hard to enforce.

I don’t think that hiding in a tree will keep a poacher from finding them.

Another feature of the Himalayan Musk Deer is that they do not have antlers. However, they do have long canine teeth that can be up to ten centimeters long.
