Lam accidentally found them while harvesting acacia timber.
After receiving the animals, the authorities handed them over to the staff of Vu Quang National Park for release back into the wild.
These three wild animals are classified under Group IIB of the list of endangered and rare forest species.
In recent years, due to enhanced public awareness and outreach efforts, residents in Ha Tinh have increasingly reported and handed over any rare wild animals they capture to the authorities for reintroduction into their natural habitats.
