No One Had Seen These Tiny Deer for 20 Years. Then One Day, They Came Back.

This story was originally published by Atlas Obscura and appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. In 1994, scientists researching in Vietnam first documented the elusive large-antlered muntjac in the semi-evergreen Vu Quang Nature Reserve, in the province of Ha Tinh. The creature’s shoulder height measures roughly 26 inches, it weighs roughly 66 to 110 pounds, and lives around the Annamite Mountains that border Laos. For years, the tiny deer has been drastically absent because of illegal wire-snare hunting.
