Saola

The Saola is so rare that scientists have only seen them four times in the wild. This forest-dwelling bovine can only be found in the Annamite Range of Laos and Vietnam. It is known by many names such as a siola, Vu Quang ox, spindlehornor or, due to its markings, the Asian unicorn. Although the saola resembles an antelope it’s actually related to cattle. Hunting and the destruction of their natural habitat are putting their survival at serious risk.
