Previously, the images of the two above-mentioned individuals posted on social networks received many positive responses, and many people were surprised to learn that this species still exists.
Mr Hoang Nhu Phuong, who posted on social networks, said that the pictures of two Truong Son muntjac individuals taken at Bach Ma were from a French tourist couple.
Late in the afternoon of March 9, this couple went photo hunting on Bach Ma Mountain when they discovered two animals in the swimming pool area in front of Phong Lan Hotel.
Before that, Mr Phuong spent 4 days with a French tourist couple taking photos of brown-shanked douc langurs and grey-shanked douc langurs in Ha Tinh, Quang Nam, and Da Nang.
