Fanged Deer Once Thought To Be Extinct Is Rediscovered In Vietnam

A small deer with fangs that hasn't been seen since 1990 has been caught on camera for the first time ever in Vietnam.



The rediscovery in southern Vietnam was published on November 11, in the scientific journal Nature Ecology & Evolution."We had no idea what to expect, so I was surprised and overjoyed when we checked the camera traps and saw photographs of a chevrotain with silver flanks," said An Nguyen, associate conservation scientist for GWC and expedition team leader.
