Vietnam's Critters

Recently, Vietnam’s Lost Animal Kingdom produced several other recent discoveries, including evidence of a new species of fish, two previously unknown bird species, and an unknown tortoise with a striking yellow shell. Meanwhile, the search is on for a new reptile known as the burrowing Vietnamese sharp-nosed snake. During the Vietnam War, U.S. Navy officers gathered and photographed specimens of this snake, but the specimens were lost.

In addition to these, Dr. Ha Dinh Duc of the National University of Hanoi now reports that a colleague at Hue University has seen another goat-like animal near A Luoi in Thua Thien Province. Dr. Pham Nhat (Forestry University, Xuan Mai) reports two unusual civet (a catlike animal) specimens from Lao Cai Province in the far northwest.

In Vietnam, zoologists and biologists continue to discover new animals at an amazing rate in what has become known as their very special Indochinese “lost world.”
