A new species of gecko (Cyrtodactylus phongnhakebangensis) found in Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park. Perhaps a third of Vietnam's 484 identified reptile species are endemic, and new species are regularly discovered. These species are often found in particular hotspots, for example 32 endemic species are found within the Annamite Range.
A type of leaf-eating langur that has an unusually long and bushy tail with white hips. It is also one of the most endangered primates in the world. Only about 300 Delacour's langurs are alive today, and experts fear they could be completely extinct if the current rate of decline continues.
The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. VU: Vulnerable: The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. NT: Near threatened: The species does not meet any of the criteria that would categorise it as risking extinction but it is likely to do so in the future. LC: Least concern

A number of species of non-marine mollusks are found in the wild in Vietnam. There are good reasons to suppose that Vietnam, with a surface of 332,000 km 2 , a large variety of habitats, and many different limestone 'islands' that differ from each other in faunal composition, [ 1 ] will have a rich diversity of terrestrial molluscs.
