When you begin dreaming up a trip to Vietnam<\/a>, wildlife may not be the first thing on your mind, but there are actually pockets of incredible biodiversity \u2014 and animals \u2014 scattered throughout the country. Beyond the fascinating history and deep spirituality, make the time to linger a little longer and discover the wildlife of Vietnam. Read on to find out exactly where to look…<\/p>\n

\"Vietnam<\/a>

Watch as birdlife swoop to catch fish along the Mekong Delta<\/p><\/div>\n

Mekong Delta<\/h2>\n

From its source on the Tibetan Plateau until it empties into the South China Sea, the Mekong River covers nearly 5,000 kilometres, crossing a whopping six countries. Home to over 1,200 freshwater species, the Greater Mekong contains some of the most biologically diverse habitats in the world. In Vietnam<\/a> it splinters into nine tributaries, which make up the Mekong Delta<\/a>, a lush and scenic region that you can explore from the water. Along the way, look out for giant freshwater stingray and water buffalo plus over 240 species of birdlife including sarus cranes, the tallest flying bird in the world.<\/p>\n

Meet the piercing gaze of a slow loris monkey in Son Tra<\/p><\/div>\n

Central Vietnam<\/h2>\n

Known by many as \u2018Monkey Mountain\u2019, the forests of Son Tra are home to an incredible collection of primates including long-tailed macaque, slow loris and over 1,000 endangered red-shanked douc. Explore Da Nang\u2019s green peninsula on hikes into the mountains, or discover what lives below the surface on a snorkelling or scuba diving excursion.<\/p>\n

To the north of Da Nang, Bach Ma National Park sprawls across the Annamite Mountains. Up here, you\u2019ll spot Asian elephant, red-shanked douc and a host of colourful birdlife. As you explore its many trails, keep a look out for thousands of vivid orchids that adorn the branches.<\/p>\n

A few hours north of Hue<\/a>, the vast bamboo forests of Phong Nha-Ke Bang are home to the rare saola, black bear, langur and water monitor lizards, which can grow up to two metres long.<\/p>\n
