'Mouse deer' not seen for 30 years spotted in Vietnamese forest
In this January 21, 2018 photo, a silver-backed chevrotain is captured by a camera trap in an undisclosed forest in southern Vietnam.
It said the rabbit-sized animal is not a deer or a mouse despite its nickname, but is the world's smallest hoofed mammal. "For so long, this species has seemingly only existed as part of our imagination. Discovering that it is, indeed, still out there is the first step in ensuring we don't lose it again, and we're moving quickly now to figure out how best to protect it," said An Nguyen, a conservation scientist at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, a partner of GWC in the project.
