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.
"The rediscovery of the silver-backed chevrotain provides big hope for the conservation of biodiversity, especially threatened species, in Vietnam," said Hoang Minh Duc, head of the Southern Institute of Ecology's Department of Zoology. "This also encourages us, together with relevant and international partners, to devote time and effort to further investigation and conservation of Vietnam's biodiversity heritage."

That is a pretty interesting discovery.
