A forest musk deer in Cao BαΊ±ng, northern Vietnam, captured by a camera trap. Itβs the first time this timid little deer, only about two feet tall, has been spotted in the wild in this area for decades. Forest musk deer are rare in Vietnam, with conservationists estimating fewer than 50 individuals remain in the country.

Or anything from endangered species.
And NOT BUY or use materials from endangered animals while I'm at it.
Yes, Cina, I'm talking about you, too.
