Results of the first zoological examination and morphometric characteristics of a water deer, Hydropotes inermis (Swinhoe 1870), found in the southern part of the Khasansky District of Primorsky krai are presented: an adult female (2.0–2.5 years old) with a large body and pronounced saber–like fangs (2.4 cm). The possible roles H. inermis plays as an element of the food base for large felines of the Far East and the inclusion of this species in the system of conservation measures are discussed.
