The tortoise (Indotestudo elongata), weighing about 3.5kg and measuring nearly 30cm in length, was released after forest rangers, local authorities and the reserve's management board confirmed that it was healthy and fit to return to its natural habitat.

Nguyen Van Sinh, Director of the reserve, said on May 14 that the rare predator was captured by a camera trap system installed in the reserve’s natural forest.
