Great news regarding the photo taken of a Sumatran Muntjac in a photo trap in a Sumatran forest, it was thought lost to the world for the last 80 years

That's excellent news! I wonder if it is closely related to the kancils?

no, it is not. Muntjac are deer, kancil (chevrotains) are not

The pictures were taken in 2002, this news headline is screwy. What is recent news is it was recently designated (or redesignated) as a new species instead of being a subspecies of Muntiacus muntjak.

I know the media is so desperate at times that they make up stories or repost them that were from several years ago. I know there was a fals sighting of the Baiji earlier this year they used a previous photo,
