Truong Son Muntjac


Muntjacks

{{ Truong Son Muntjac }}
{{ - Three years after finding the largest muntjac species (the giant muntjac) in the forests of Vietnam, possibly the smallest muntjac species has been discovered: weighing about 15 kilogrammes, and half the size of the common muntjac, scientists are calling the new species the Truong Son muntjac, after the mountain range where it was found. The Truong Son muntjac was first discovered in April, 1997 by scientists from WWF, Vietnam???s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Da Nang University. After the Institute of Zoology, University of Copenhagen analysed genetic tissue samples, it was confirmed as a new species of muntjac. This is the third new species of large mammal that scientists have discovered in Vietnam in recent years. }}
