	Pseudoryx nghetinhensis - Saola
		The captive saola was primarily diurnal, or diurnal and crepuscular, although the author noted a potential bias due to day-time human activity.
		The saola is generally considered to be the greatest animal discovery in recent times, and is so different from any currently known species that a separate genus was constructed for it.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Saola
		The Saola or Vu Quang ox, also, infrequently, Vu Quang bovid (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis), one of the world's rarest mammals, is a forest-dwelling bovine found only in Vietnam (Vu Quang Nature Reserve) and in Laos, near the Vietnam-Laotian border.
		The saola occurs in the Annamite Range's moist forests and the Eastern Indochina dry and monsoon forests.
		Saolas stay in mountain forests during the wet seasons, when water in streams and rivers is abundant, and move down to the lowlands in winter.

	Animal Info - Saola
		Current knowledge indicates that the saola prefers the edge areas of wet lowland evergreen forest habitats and evergreen montane forests.
		The decline of the saola is due to intense hunting pressure, accelerated by continued opening-up of its habitat to increased human access (mainly through road construction).
		The saola population is declining at a high rate, probably due to the intensive, non-specific hunting of most larger species of wildlife throughout the saola's range (spurred by commercial demand for bushmeat and Asian traditional medicine).

	Saola Stamps
		It is highly endangered because of the loss of its forest habitat to logging and agriculture and because villagers use it as a food source.

	A brush with the saola
		The size of a sheep, short and stocky, and the color of chocolate, the saola's two-foot-long horns are reminiscent of the spindle on a spinning wheel.
		Although very rare - with guesses of population ranging from 200 to 2,000 - the saola is not unknown to the Hmong tribes of the region who hunt the antelope-like animal with the help of dogs.
		And that, Ruggeri says, is how the saola she encountered in early January, 1996, came to be in the menagerie of a powerful Lao official.

	Saola - Pseudoryx nghetinhensis: More Information - ARKive
		The individual was primarily diurnal or crepuscular, with activity often concentrated early in the morning and late in the afternoon.
		The remaining saola population is now estimated at fewer than 250 mature individuals and declining, with the largest subpopulations thought to contain fewer than 50 mature individuals (1).
		The saola is found in the Vu Quang Nature Reserve, which has recently been enlarged to 60,000 ha with an additional 15,000 ha buffer zone (8), and also in the proposed protected area of Nam Chouan (5).

	BioFortean Review
		The saola apparently exhibits a seasonal elevational migration, summering in the higher (to 2000 meters) moist coniferous forests and wintering downslope in the mixed tropical woodlands of lowlands at elevations of 150-200 meters.
		On a brighter note, the cumulative threats to the critically endangered saola have brought cooperative efforts to preserve the species which is considered to be both bellweather and icon of Vietnam conservation efforts.

	Biodiversity Hotspots - Indo-Burma - Unique and Threated Biodiversity
		The saola represents a newly described endemic genus, and is one of several species within the Indo-Burma hotspot in need of immediate conservation action.
		Confined to the wet evergreen forests in the Annamite lowlands of Vietnam and the Lao P.D.R., saola is under threat from severe habitat degradation and conversion, as well as indiscriminate snaring, which may increase with ongoing road construction projects in its habitat.
		Although there was much global attention on the saola after its discovery, none of its populations have yet been placed under effective conservation management.

	IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Pseudoryx nghetinhensis
		Within the range of Saola, wild cattle, elephants, and tigers are all nearing extinction, and remaining numbers of each in the Saola's range are probably in the tens (e.g., Duckworth and Hedges 1998).
		The greatest threat to the Saola is hunting, with animals being killed opportunistically (generally by snaring and shooting) in the general pursuit of wildlife for bushmeat and Asian traditional medicine.
		The apparent absence of Saola from extensive areas of secondary forest is either an indication of a greatly accelerated rate of decline compared with other species or an ecological intolerance, neither of which bodes well for the species.

		The WWF team believes many saolas are being caught in snares for other creatures, such as bears, which are prized in the East for the 'healing properties' of their gall bladders.
		In addition, the saola is often hunted in its own right, so its distinctive head can be mounted as a trophy.
		Led by Bui Xuan Nguyen, the team has already isolated saola DNA from tissue samples from creatures in the wild and, working with French scientists, have injected these into the eggs of cows, a goat and a swamp buffalo.

	8/11/2002 -- VIETNAM: Eaten: one of the few-remaining saola
		The death of one of Vietnam’s few-remaining saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis; also known as Vu Quang ox) was confirmed last month when police from Hien District in northern Quang Nam province uncovered fresh saola meat being consumed in A’ Tep village, Bhalle commune, in the far north of the province.
		Estimates have put the total population of saola at between 70-1000 individuals, restricted to an area of around 4,000 square kilometres in forests of the Truong Son mountains along the Vietnam-Laos border.
		The area where the saola was caught is thought to be one of only a handful of remaining strongholds for the species, and the loss of even a single saola constitutes a significant blow to the potential survival of the population in the area, as well as to the species as a whole.

		These predictions turned out to be correct when the survey team found four pairs of Saola Pseudoryx nghetinhensis horns in the possession of local hunters, two of which belonged to animals hunted in the previous two months.
		Saola, which was only described by western scientists in 1992, is known from a few sites in the Annamite mountains, along the Vietnam-Laos border.
		Unfortunately, Saola and many of the other key species in the area are under high hunting pressure.

		After further scientific examination of the horns, the saola was officially described in 1993.
		While scientists have never observed live saola in the field, they have seen several that were captured in hunting nets and snares - the principal threats to this highly endangered animal.
		In the Vu Quang Nature Reserve, WWF is protecting saola habitat, conducting surveys and working with local communities to protect this rare and elusive creature.

		The saola was first identified by its horns during a joint survey by the Vietnamese Ministry of Forestry and WWF in Vu Quang Nature Reserve in central Vietnam in 1992.
		Reports and surveys have since confirmed the saola’s presence in four provinces in Lao PDR and in six provinces in Vietnam.
		It is believed that the saola is a relic species that, along with its habitat, was squeezed into its present small range by climatic changes during and following the last Ice Age.

		In 1992, members of a team of scientists from the Ministry of Forestry of Vietnam and WWF were shown a pair of long, almost straight, horns from a large mammal while conducting a survey in central Vietnam.
		The long-horned bovid is known as "sao la" which means spindle horn, referring to the similarity between the animal's pointed horns and the local weaving spindles in Nghe An province.
		There are estimated to be between 70-1000 individual saola remaining in the northern and central Annamites, but to date, no scientist has seen a living saola in the wild.
