#asian endangered species
This adorably freckled little bovine is called SAOLA, or Asian Unicorn, is a rarely seen creature since its discoveries two decades ago. It was then one of the first large mammal discovered in more than 50 years . None in captivity and only maybe few hundred or few dozen of them in the wild. Their horns can grow up to 20inches for both male and female. Cousins to cattle but most resemble an antelope.
Traps set up for crops or other animals can often accidental catch and harm these critically endangered creatures. Deforestation and habitat lost is of course another one of those reasons they are having a hard time surviving. They are only found in the mountains of Laos and Vietnam, which is already one of the most beautiful yet “endangered and significant” ecosystem on earth.
