One of the rarest and most threatened mammals on earth has been caught on camera in Vietnam for the first time in 15 years, renewing hope for the recovery of the species, an international conservation group said Wednesday.
The Saola, a long-horned ox, was photographed by a camera in a forest in central Vietnam in September, the WWF said in a statement Wednesday.
"This is a breathtaking discovery and renews hope for the recovery of the species," Van Ngoc Thinh, WWF - Vietnam's country director, was quoted as saying.

Yes, we need to bring this species back... and then have Saola-ranches for making steak.

Looks like a 4 eyed elk to me. With the front set of eyes pretty angry.

I think it is an oryx. Oryx is a type of antelope. I have seen them at the zoo. Most oryx species are found in Africa or near the middle east.

An ox is a castrated bull.

I think it is an oryx. Oryx is a type of antelope. I have seen them at the zoo. Most oryx species are found in Africa or near the middle east.Oryx thrive at Ft Bliss, Donna Anna range and White Sands missile range. It fits their grazing environment and no predators. They are not afraid of humans either.

The ability to squat like that with ease is why Asian toilets tend to be nothing but a hole in the floor.
