With the change of the environment, many animals on the earth are endangered or even extinct, extinct animals mean that we will never see it in real life again, and if it is accidentally discovered, the extinct animals are actually alive, then it will definitely attract people's attention, because people always lose to know how to cherish.
Recently, there is an extinct animal that has reappeared in Vietnam, which is the silver-backed weasel deer. Silver-backed shrew deer belong to the small ungulate shrew family. Its body size is about the size of a rabbit, weighing 1.3 to 2.0 kg, body length of 42 to 63 cm, shoulder height of about 20 cm, so you can know that this is not much different from the ordinary domestic rabbit, it is also considered to be the world's smallest deer, its limbs are slender, its forelimbs are short, its face is pointed, and the male has developed fangs.
An ecological study published in the ecology and evolution column of the British "Nature" magazine on the 11th said that the silver-backed shrew deer, the smallest deer animal that is scientifically believed to have disappeared for 30 years, was recently surprised to be rediscovered in the wild in Vietnam. As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the wildlife protection industry.
Before the silverback shrew was rediscovered, the last news about it was in 1990, when it appeared in the field of vision as a hunted specimen, when the silverback shrew deer was already very rare, so it was also believed that it was likely to be the last silver-backed shrew deer to survive in the world, and in the 30 years since then, the animal has not been seen again, and many animal protection organizations in the world have also determined that the silverback shrew deer has become extinct.
However, the recent re-photography of the silver-backed shrew deer in a living state has inevitably made people rejoice. Because the silver-backed shrew deer is timid by nature, very cautious, like to come out in the evening and at night, they feed on the young leaves and flowers and fruits of plants, mainly distributed in the Indochina Peninsula, Indonesia's Java, Sumatra and other islands, as well as China's Guangxi and Yunnan areas.
The area where the silverback shrew deer was rediscovered was in the Great An nam Ecoregion in Vietnam and Laos, which is one of the most ecologically diverse areas in the world, and coincidentally, it was also here that the silverback shrew deer was first included in the World Wildlife Conservation Organization. In 1910, zoologists then recorded the animal for the first time in an animal protection atlas based on samples obtained near the city of Nha Trang, Vietnam. At that time, the number of silver-backed shrew deer was still quite large, and who would have thought that eighty years later, this animal would be on the verge of extinction.
Since the existence of this animal can still be found in the jungles of Vietnam, Laos and even Myanmar, there should also be a certain possibility that there will be silver-backed shrews in the jungles of Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar, Guangxi and Yunnan, but it is not such a simple thing to find them.
Although the silver-backed shrew deer has been confirmed to reappear in the world, it does not mean that they are not in danger of extinction, if people do not know how to protect the rare, or continue to hunt and destroy, then the reappearance of the silverback shrew deer is like a flash in the pan. So it's imperative to protect the silver-backed moose so that the DNA of its population is preserved and the best effort can be done to prevent the genocide of this race.
