This unusual small deer has a scientific name that means ‘unarmed water-drinker’, in reference to its lack of antlers and preference for marshy habitats. In the place of antlers, males have large upper canine teeth, that, in effect, are long, slightly curved tusks which protrude like fangs out of their mouths. The female is a little smaller than the male, and has much smaller canines. The Water deer's coat is rather coarse and thick, the color being reddish-brown during summer and more grayish during winter months, with whitish underparts. The young are darker brown and have white stripes and spots on the upper back.
