Animals in Vietnam
The Saola, also known as the Asian Unicorn, is one of the rarest animals in the world. A member of the bovine family, the Saola is found only on one relatively small mountain range in Vietnam and neighboring Laos. This unusual creature was virtually unknown to the outside world until 1992.
Numerous species of monkeys live in Vietnam, many of which are on the endangered list. The Tonkin Snub-Nosed Langur was thought to be extinct until 1990, when a small population was discovered in a remote province of Vietnam. It is now believed that fewer than 250 exist today.
There are several types of langur, a kind of arboreal monkey, which live in the forest's canopy. Characterized partly by their long fur and slender, elongated hands and feet, the species vary widely from region to region.
The tropical rainforests of this beautiful land also house an array of reptiles, amphibians, insects, mammals, and many other crawling and slithering things.
There are 840 bird species in Vietnam, yet only one is endemic to that part of the world. The Edwards's Pheasant, currently on the endangered list, is believed to have a population of less than three thousand in the wild. However, this beautiful bird is doing well in captivity in the country's many nature preserves.
Several animal species in this diverse region are stressed by loss of habitat. But among Vietnam's 28 national parks are 126 conservation areas where nature and wildlife are flourishing.
