SPOTTED: This is a silver-backed chevrotain, also known as the Vietnamese mouse-deer. Scientists rediscovered the species in Vietnam after more than 25 years, Global Wildlife Conservation said in a statement on Monday. The creature is about the size of a rabbit and typically weighs less than 10 pounds, according to GWC. | CBS Newspath

Fun fact: It’s hard to tell gender in deer mice because males testes are not visible… UNLESS he smells a female around! Then they pop out like this…. However, I’ve noticed that deer mice will rarely breed in captivity. I’ve had it happen only a handful of times in the many years I’ve been doing this, isn’t that interesting? Nearly all of the mice who gave birth in my care were already pregnant when they arrived 🐀 | MouseTales
