A miniature “fanged” deer-like mammal long thought to be lost to time was recently rediscovered in Vietnam’s coastal forests.
The deer, called the silver-backed chevrotain, is about the size of a soccer ball, and is one of 10 known species of chevrotain in the world, which are primarily found in Asia. This particular species had not been seen since 1990, was recently rediscovered. Scientists who found the tiny deer published their findings in the scientific journal Nature Ecology & Evolution on Monday.
