  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Przewalskium albirostre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;(Przewalski, 1883) is a physically unique cervid commonly called the white-lipped deer.&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Przewalskium&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;is monotypic. This species is a high-elevation specialist endemic to the eastern Tibetan Plateau where it inhabits relatively open hills and mountains with a mosaic of forest edges, meadows, and shrublands. Populations of&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;P. albirostre&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;are highly fragmented and vulnerable because of exploitation and competition with domestic livestock of pastoralists. There have been no systematic efforts to estimate the total number of extant&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;P. albirostre,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and it is considered Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. It is farmed for its antlers in China and is represented in zoos and private collections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
