Mouse deer spotted in Vietnam for first time in 30 years

A distinctly two-tone mouse deer has been captured on film foraging for food by camera traps set up in a Vietnamese forest. The pictures of the rabbit-sized animal, also known as the silver-backed chevrotain, are the first to be taken in the wild and come nearly 30 years after the last confirmed sighting of the creature.
