It was in a market that Timmins also found a new species of striped Sumatran rabbit.
在这个市场上，蒂明斯还曾发现过苏门纹兔(stripedSumatran rabbit)的一个新种。
It was only recently, however, that muntjac expert Robert Timmins recognized the rain forest deer in the photo as the first documented Sumatran muntjac since 1930.
然而直到最近，麂类专家RobertTimmins才确认照片里这种雨林鹿种就是在1930年就首次记录的苏门答腊麂。
"This deer might well be relatively common in Sumatra above a certain altitude," said Timmins, speaking from his base in Madison, Wisconsin. "I always suspected it still survived in the region."
“这种鹿相对来讲，可能在苏门答腊岛上某特定海拔之上比较普遍，”Timmins在他威斯康辛州麦迪逊市的基地说，“我一直怀疑它们仍然在这片区域里生存着。”
But Timmins was able to identify the Sumatran in the photo because he had earlier rediscovered another "lost" specimen-a stuffed Sumatran muntjac collected in 1914-in London's Natural History Museum.
但Timmins之所以能够鉴定出照片中的是苏门答腊麂，是因为他之前已经重新发现了另一个“失落的”标本——伦敦自然历史博物馆里的一个收集于1914年的苏门答腊麂标本。
