		In scientific classification used in biology, the order (Latin: ordo, plural ordines) is a rank between class and family (termed a taxon at that rank).

	Family Moschidae or musk deer
		MORSE See "Walrus" MOSCHIDAE Moschidae is the Musk deer family of animals of the order Artiodactyla.
		Threats: While habitat destruction poses a threat to musk deer populations, large-scale illegal hunting to meet commercial demand for the scent gland or "pod" of the male musk deer is believed to be responsible for dramatic declines in some musk deer populations at the end of this century.
		Secretions from the scent gland or "pod" of the male musk deer are used in many traditional East Asian medicines to treat a variety of ailments relating to the heart, nerves and breathing.

	Moschidae - musk deer
		Musk deer are entirely Asian in their present distribution, although the earliest musk deer are known from Oligocene deposits in Europe.
		The Moschidae never bear horns or antlers, and possess a gall bladder; in these ways they resemble oversized chevrotains (Tragulidae) rather than true deer (Cervidae).
		Seemingly to compensate for their lack of headgear, the upper canines of males form long (up to 10 cm) downward-pointing tusks.

		Six families are traditionally recognized within the suborder–Ruminantia: Antilocapridae (pronghorns), Bovidae (cattle, sheep, and antelopes), Cervidae (deer), Giraffidae (giraffes and okapis), Moschidae (musk deer), and Tragulidae (chevrotains).
		The interrelationships of the families have been an area of controversy among morphology, palaeontology, and molecular studies, and almost all possible evolutionary scenarios have been proposed in the literature.
		Within the pecorans, Antilocapridae and Giraffidae emerge first, and the families Bovidae, Moschidae, and Cervidae are allied, with the unexpected placement of Moschus close to bovids rather than to cervids.

		The characters that have been used in the past and in this paper to distinguish pecoran families are discussed and evaluated.
		Within living pecoran families the Giraffidae are the most primitive, and the Moschidae and Antilocapridae are conjoined with the Cervidae in the superfamily Cervoidea, with antilocaprids being closer to cervids than are moschids.
		The Moschidae includes Moschus, the extinct European genera Dremotherium, Micromeryx, and Hispanomeryx, and the North American blastomerycids.

		Many animal species in various families have tusks, which often serve the same functions as true horns, but are in fact oversize teeth.
		These include the Moschidae (Musk deer, which are ruminants), Suidae (Wild Boars), Proboscidea (Elephants), Monodontidae (Narwhals) and Odobenidae (Walruses).
		Wildlife have a variety of uses for horns and antlers, including fighting attacking predators and fighting members of their own species for territory, dominance and mating priority.

		They range in size from the diminutive pudu of South America and muntjacs of Asia, to the largest species, the moose.
		The musk deer of the family Moschidae are found in the high and cold regions of Eurasia.
		Of moderate size, they lack antlers but are equipped with large dagger-like canine teeth.

		The navicular and cuboid bones of the ankle are not fused, a primitive condition that separates tylopods from the third suborder the Ruminantia.
		This last suborder includes the families Tragulidae, Giraffidae, Cervidae, Moschidae, Antilocapridae, and Bovidae (plus a number of extinct groups).
		In addition to fused naviculars and cuboids, it is characterized by a series of traits including missing upper incisors, often (but not always) reduced or absent upper canines, selenodont cheek teeth, a 3 or 4-chambered stomach, and third and fourth metapodials usually partially or completely fused.

		The phylogenetic progression within Ruminantia proceeds from Hypertragulidae through Tragulidae to Leptomerycidae to Gelocidae to Moschidae and thence to the horned ruminants.
		We introduce the name Moschina for the Gelocidae and the Moschidae and the term Eupecora for the higher ruminant groups bearing horns, antlers, and ossicones.
		We also propose Neoselenodontia, above the subordinal level, to include both the Ruminantia and their sister group, the Tylopoda.

		The musk deer is a tusked Asian species prized for the musk from its abdominal gland.
		Most authorities place this species in its own family (Moschidae) because it possesses a gall bladder.
		Members of the deer family (Cervidae) are distinguished from other ruminants by the presence, in most recent species, of bony deciduous antlers which are generally borne only by males.

	Systematics of the Artiodactyla
		Includes two genera: Hyemoschus, the African chevrotain, and Tragulus, the Asian "mouse deer." These are the smallest of all artiodactyls; the smallest species, the lesser Malay mouse deer, is only 40 cm long — no bigger than a rabbit.
		Includes most living artiodactyls, such as Giraffidae (giraffes and okapi), Cervidae (deer, elk, caribou, etc.), Bovidae (cows, buffalo, sheep, goats, antelope), Moschidae (musk deer), and Antilocapridae (American pronghorn "antelope" — which is not a true antelope) Typical pecorans have well-developed, four-chambered ruminant stomachs, and most have paired horns on the head.
