 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Narmada Valley dry deciduous forests (IM0207)
Although it is not exceptional in terms of endemism or diversity, the ecoregion still retains important habitat for many of the Indian Subcontinent's large animals, such as the tiger, gaur (Bos gaurus), wild dog (Cuon alpinus), sloth bear (Melursus ursinus), chousingha (Tetracerus quadricornis), and flbuck (Antilope cervicapra).
Throughout most of their ranges, these larger vertebrate species are being increasingly confined to small forest fragments that do not offer much hope for long-term survival of declining populations.
Although none of them are endemic, there are several threatened species, including the tiger, gaur, wild dog, sloth bear, chousingha, and flbuck (IUCN 2000).

 Saola, Vu Quang ox
Its discovery required the creation of a new genus, and considerable controversy raged as to the evolutionary affinities of Pseudoryx.
Based on morphological characters, various authors have allied the saola with the subfamily Bovinae (including it in each of the three tribes: Boselaphini (nilgai and chousingha), Bovini (cattle and buffalo), and Tragelaphini (spiral-horned antelope)) and the subfamily Caprinae (specifically the Rupicaprini, closest to serows and gorals) (Schaller and Rabinowitz, 1995).
Genetic analysis (based on mitochondrial DNA and rRNA genes) by Hassanin and Douzery (1999) appears to have set the debate to rest: Pseudoryx is strongly nested within the subfamily Bovinae, Tribe Bovini.
