New animals from Vũ Quang and surrounding areas:

• Saola or Vu Quang ox (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis)
• Quang khem ("slow deer")
• Giant muntjac (Megamuntiacus vuquangensis) - the world's largest muntjac.
• Mangden ("black deer")
• Linh dương ("holy goat") (Pseudonovibos spiralis) - this or a similar species has been seen in Cambodia, where its name is kting voar
• Northern white-cheeked gibbon^[3]

In addition, Vũ Quang is home to five new species of fish^{[citation needed]}:

• Parazacco vuquangensis
• Crosscheilus vuha
• Pararhoedus philanthropus
• Pararhoedus equalitus
• Oreoglanis libertus

In addition to these animals, there are some tantalising glimpses of more:

• a large, cream-coloured slow loris seen in Hanoi Zoo by Doug Richardson, assistant curator of mammals at London Zoo in 1994;
• a black muntjac seen in Laos by Dr George Schaller of New York's wildlife Conservation society in 1994;
• the skull and some meat from the Vietnamese warty pig Sus bucculensis was given to Dr Schaller on the same visit. The species was first described in 1892 but no physical evidence for it was ever secured.
