Moschidae

Moschidae is a family of pecoran even-toed ungulates containing the musk deer and its extinct relatives. Members lack horns, antlers, or ossicones, instead bearing long saber-like canine teeth, and are modest in size, with the living genus Moschus reaching at most about seventeen kilograms. Today the family survives as a single genus, Moschus, with seven extant species of musk deer ranging across the highlands of Asia. The family was far more diverse across Eurasia and North America during the Miocene before declining to its modern single genus by the early Pleistocene.
