SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Sambar deer, believed to have been wiped out in Singapore as at 1950, are making a comeback after several escaped from public and private local zoos in the 1970s, a recent study has found.
The report, published on Feb 16 in the journal Conservation Science and Practice, said the mammal’s numbers are estimated to be growing in various forested areas, including parts of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve near MacRitchie and Bukit Timah.
