Paleontological research in Vietnam started in 2020 has yielded interesting results in the field of the study of Pleistocene mammals: finds of remains of the latest Gigantopithecus representatives, description of new materials on many groups, new data on the distribution of modern and extinct species and the evolution of their habitats.

Начатые в 2020 г. палеонтологические исследования во Вьетнаме позволили получить интересные результаты в области изучения плейстоценовых млекопитающих: найдены самые поздние гигантопитеки, описаны новые материалы по разным группам, получены новые данные о распространении современных и вымерших видов и об истории развития среды их обитания.
