Wildlife spotlight
Saola
Range
Saola are found in only one place on Earth: the evergreen broadleaf forests of the Central Annamites on the border of Viet Nam and Lao PDR.
Appearance
Related to bison, buffalo, and cattle, saolas can be nearly three feet tall and weigh around 200 pounds. They have a chocolate-brown coat, striking white markings on the face, and two sharp horns, grown by both males and females.
On Endangered Species Day today, we shine a spotlight on the critically endangered saola, a creature so rare its nickname is the “Asian unicorn.” Threatened by hunting and habitat loss, this elusive species was discovered just three decades ago. Conservationists estimate that only a few dozen individuals remain in the wild and are working hard to locate them.
