The animals released this time include 02 golden monkeys (Macaca mulatta); 05 macaques (Macaca assamensis); 08 pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonina); 05 red-faced macaques (Macaca arctoides); 05 king cobras (Ophiophagus hannah); 04 Chinese cobras (Naja atra) and 01 banded krait (Bungarus fasciatus).

These are wild animals that have been successfully received and rescued by Hoang Lien Center for Rescue, Conservation and Development of Living Creatures, and are eligible for release back into the natural environment.

The monkeys quickly got used to their new natural environment at Vu Quang National Park (Ha Tinh province).

The selected release locations are in 2 forest areas of Vu Quang National Park with separate release areas for monkeys and separate cobra and krait snakes.

This is a place with natural conditions suitable for the habits and distribution of the species, far from residential areas and agricultural areas, with abundant water and food sources.
