Villagers in Laos captured the saola in August and took it to their remote community but it died after a few days in captivity.The animal had been sighted for the first time in a decade.

"but it died after a few days in captivity"

There was a delay is getting the order in for the Stubb's Mopp'n Sauce. Then it was eight hours on the smoker.

At first, I thought, it’s just another breed of goat, then I saw the feet. Those look more like something you’d see on a tapir or something. Maybe just a goat that’s adapted to running around the same type of environment as tapirs.
