Saola
Pseudoryx nghetinhensis
The saola lives in dense, wet evergreen forests of the Annamite Mountains along the Vietnam–Laos border, usually near streams. This exceptionally elusive bovid is believed to browse on leaves, shoots, and other soft vegetation, moving quietly through thick cover. Both sexes carry long, nearly parallel horns, and the species is so rarely encountered that it is often called the Asian unicorn.
