Says Do: "One day a couple of guys would be gone, and then a couple more, and then the teacher wouldn't show up. Everybody was scared.

In Viet Nam, authorities have confiscated a young female Vu Quang ox that had been captured by a hunter. The species was identified in 1992 when a research team came upon skulls previously unknown to science in hunters' homes. The strange animal, which in different respects resembles cattle, goats and antelope, represents only the fourth new genus of large land mammal to be discovered this century...
