Mouse-deer species not seen for 30 years found alive in Vietnam

A distinctly two-tone mouse-deer, or the silver-backed chevrotain, was filmed by camera traps set up in a Vietnamese forest, after nearly 30 years. The deer-like animal has been confirmed scientifically only once since 1907. Despite the name, the animals are neither mice nor deer, but the world's smallest ungulate, or hoofed animal.
