Create an image of an Anhui Musk Deer. The setting should be traditional to the Musk Deer's natural habitat - dense mountainous forest. The musk deer itself should be a central figure, portrayed in its typical posture, with its characteristic small stature, backward-curving tusks and large mule-like ears. Make sure the fur is properly depicted with its inherent variations in color from yellow-brown to dark brown. No text, people, or brands should be included in the image.
