The famous Siberian Ice Maiden was found in the Altai region of Russia in 1993. She had amazing tattoos, and we finally know just why she died so young.

Ember's hunt produced five squirrels. One fox, two grey, and two reds. She had a couple trees on nests and we explored a section of some woods I didn't think was accessible. Found a beaver lodge and some potentially good mushroom spots for later in the year.
On the way home the car two ahead of me hit a deer. They kept going, didn't even stop to check their vehicle, and left the deer flailing in the middle of the road. I pulled over and put on my flashers, the car behind me did too. I waited until it was clear and quickly dragged him out of the road. The other car left when they saw I had things under control. Unfortunately the deer had two shattered legs and massive internal bleeding so he did not survive. I loaded him up and took him home.
I was just thinking about how I've been dreading needing to buy meat (I don't always want to eat squirrel), my bear is almost gone and there's not much else in the freezer. Michigan has a free salvage permit for roadkill so this was an awesome alternative to today's meat prices.

Siberian musk deer (Moschus moschiferus)
Not technically a deer at all, but a close relative, this moschid is found in Siberia, Mongolia, China, and Korea. They prefer rocky, mountainous forests, and eat mostly lichen! Like some species of true deer, they use their scary-looking canine teeth to fight for the right to mate. Males bear a powerful scent-producing gland called the musk gland, and due to poaching for use in perfumes, the Siberian musk deer and its relatives are unfortunately on the decline.

Deercember Day Eleven: Siberian Roe Deer | Under the Oak
The Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus), eastern roe deer, or Asian roe deer, is a species found in northeastern Asia. In addition to Siberia and Mongolia, it is found in Kazakhstan, the Tian Shan Mountains of Kyrgyzstan, eastern Tibet, the Korean Peninsula, and northern China. Its specific name pygargus, literally "white-rumped", is shared by the pygarg, an antelope known in antiquity. The Siberian roe deer was once considered to be the same species as the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), but it is now considered to be separate. Both the Siberian roe deer and European roe deer have seen their populations increase, both around the 1930s. Since the 1960s, the two species have become sympatric where their distributions meet, and there is now a broad 'hybridization zone' running from the right side of the Volga River up to eastern Poland. In line with Haldane's rule, female hybrids of the two taxa are fertile, while male hybrids are not. Hybrids are much larger than normal and a Cesarean section was sometimes needed to birth the fawns, becoming larger than their mothers at the age of 4–5 months. F1 hybrid males may be sterile, but backcrosses with the females are possible. Their rut occurs in August and September, though roe deer are the only ungulates to undergo embryonic diapause (delayed implantation), and embryonic implantation takes place in January with gestation lasting 280–300 days. More information here.
