Is it related to the Killer Rabbit from the Holy Grail?
To: doorgunner69
Dunno, but it was last seen exactly one year ago, October 31 2013.

They developed fangs as a defense against Yetis.They're certain that it is a deer - and not a cow?

I sense a “keep the madman occupied while we flank him and put a stop to his vampire deer schemes” in there somewhere.

from the article:
According to the team, the musk deer were discrete, cryptic, difficult to spot, and could not be photographed.
Could not be photographed? For religious or legal or political reasons?
To: Hugin
The water deer (Hydropotes inermis), native to China and Korea have fangs.

Nope! Actually, I remember seeing one in the Washington, D. C. zoo when I was a youngster in the 1940s. I just wondered why the article was making such a big thing of it.
