The saola, or “Asian unicorn,” wasn’t discovered until 1992
Native to a mountainous region of Vietnam and Laos, “saola” means “spindle horns” in Vietnamese.
Like antelope and bison, the saola belongs to the ruminant artiodactyl family Bovidae. According to the World Wildlife Fund, this enigmatic creature is super rare – scientists have only documented wild saola on four occasions.

These are such gorgeous creatures. Please try to save them. There are some humans that should be extinct instead.
