The video, recorded by staff at Cuc Phuong National Park in Ninh Binh, was filmed within the park's nature reserve. The clip quickly went viral, drawing nearly one million views and tens of thousands of comments and shares within four days. On the national park's official fanpage, the video garnered over 700,000 views and more than 36,000 interactions.
After watching the video, many people expressed a desire to visit Cuc Phuong National Park to observe wildlife. Lan Anh wrote, "After watching, I just want to go to Cuc Phuong right away to see wild animals firsthand." Other accounts commented that such images help them better understand the natural lives of animals and foster a greater love for nature.
Many tourists shared that despite multiple visits to Cuc Phuong, they had never witnessed a similar scene. "You have to be very lucky to see such a cute moment in the forest," Vinh Le remarked. Staff at Cuc Phuong National Park stated that the video shows deer in the park playing. They were surprised by the significant public interest the video generated.
According to a representative from Cuc Phuong National Park, the two animals in the video are sika deer, a species currently under conservation at the park. Following rehabilitation in rescue programs, these individuals are released into a semi-wild enclosure spanning nearly 200 hectares. This allows them to gradually adapt to a natural environment before potentially returning to the forest. This area is accessible to tourists only when accompanied by a guide, ensuring safety and minimizing disturbance to the animals.
Cuc Phuong National Park is approximately 120 km from Hanoi, situated across the provinces of Ninh Binh, Hoa Binh, and Thanh Hoa. Covering an area of over 22,400 hectares, it is home to more than 2,230 plant species, around 2,000 insect species, 135 mammal species, 122 reptile species, and 336 bird species.
On forest tours, visitors can observe deer roaming naturally, learn about wildlife rescue efforts, and visit conservation areas for primates, turtles, pangolins, and many other animals. Tourists can also trek or camp with a guide to explore the forest ecosystem.
