Vietnam mouse-deer
- ... that the Vietnamese mouse-deer, feared to have gone extinct nearly 30 years ago, has been sighted again in 2019?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Paleotempestology
- Comment: This fact has been reported in various reliable news websites which may be added to the article but I believe the ones used presently are sufficient. Here I have provided the original peer-reviewed article reporting the findings plus two news sources reporting it: Nguyen, A.; Tran, V.B.; Hoang, D.M.; Nguyen, T.A.M.; Nguyen, D.T.; Tran, V.T.; Long, B.; Meijaard, E.; Holland, J.; Wilting, A.; Tilker, A. (2019). "Camera-trap evidence that the silver-backed chevrotain Tragulus versicolor remains in the wild in Vietnam". Nature Ecology & Evolution. 3 (12): 1650–1654. doi:10.1038/s41559-019-1027-7. · Iati, M. (12 November 2019). "A tiny 'deer' was feared extinct. Scientists just photographed it for the first time in a generation". The Washington Post. Retrieved 10 April 2020. · Preston, E. (12 November 2019).

(I slightly altered the hook for grammar.) The article has been expanded by at least fivefold. You did your QPQ. The hook is interesting and less than 200 characters. The sourcing has no issue and is properly attributed.
