So glad to have worked on this project with you guys! When I first discovered the existence of this animal, I was truly blown away. It really seemed like a fictional story. I'm reassured that I found out that The Saola Foundation exists and really happy that I got to help with this video to hopefully raise some funds for the search. I have a good feeling we'll be able to save this beautiful elusive species...Let's hope and work for the best 🤞🏼
Thank you Roberto - we got to rediscover Saola all over again through your eyes ;-)
Thank you for your tireless work to save Saola! 💖
The Saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) may look like an antelope, but it is actually a primitive cattle, the saola is the only surviving representative of the genus Pseudoryx and the subtribe Pseudorygina, Pseudorygina is the most basal extant subtribe of cattle, a cattle is any bovid that belongs to the tribe Bovini, there are three extant subtribes of cattle, Pseudorygina - the saola and its extinct relatives (includes 1 genus: Pseudoryx), Bubalina - the buffalo (includes 3 genera: Anoa, Bubalus, and Syncerus), and Bovina - the true cattle (includes 4 genera: Bibos, Bos, Poephagus, and Bison).
go to Harvard University!
extant but not for long
@simonpitt4632, do you know why true cattle are defined by the subtribe Bovina just like true owls and true parrots are defined by the family Strigidae and the superfamily Psittacoidea respectively?
@@indyreno2933 yes go to harvard. and to answer your question, yes I already knew, I was joking because I said they would go extinct.
That's a crazy beast: all the best for it.
I hope the Saola can survive. I am currently in the Annamite mountains in Vietnam. Unfortunately, whenever talking to the local people here I get the impression that they couldn't care less about Saola and the wildlife here.
One local said, if the Saola really still exists in Phong Nha National Park, thr local people will already have captured and sold it or hunted the last one down .
If enough people get involved, we might be able to help this species. I’m going to study hard to become a wildlife conservationist so that I can help save such precious animals like this 🌸🤍
Also look up the 'Neelagiri tiger'. A man named Dijo Thomas is trying to prove its existence, but the government of India and foreign organisations are refusing to help him. The animal is a large carnivore that grows to the size of a tiger or lion, but has canid and cat like characteristics. He fears the animal is in danger of going extinct, and reckons there are only a few scores of them left in the forests of southern India.
when I build my zoo I will have this animals
Oh wow, I just watched something about them, but getting to the area they are in was Insanity! Lol. This is so cool
Badass!!
Thanks Jack - we agree ;-)
I know the Saola's range is between Vietnam and Laos, but is it possible it could be in Thailand as well? I mean, think about it. The jungles of Southeast Asia are ancient, dense, and remote, the perfect place to hide an animal of any kind.
My parents from Laos .. Laos was bombed more then ww1 and ww2 combine.. my parents said they used to be plenty and the horns are used for medicine and spiritual power
Saving it doesn't mean captivity, it means stopping humans from killing them. Change your means.
There are many examples of captive breeding programs successfully reintroducing animals to the wild. Here is a great video that was posted today.

Of course this is in conjunction with stopping hunting/poaching.
Awesome video. They are very cool
Thank you! Saola are amazing, we agree ;-)
kancil?
Have you thought that maybe some species are supposed to go extinct?
Notice how an animal which looks very close to a mountain goat suddenly becomes "beautiful and extraordinary" bcoz it is about to go extinct.Humans do not value anything when it's abundant and close to them rather get it's value when it's about to go extinct.They do it with other humans least of all animals.Cherish what u have when u have it bcoz when it's gone u will only cry for it to come back(for example ur parents).Also conservation & animal love should be done without even asking people to do it but some r born a**holes like the elites and privileged with "exotic" tastes.
Save the Aśoka’s😢
Save them from what lol
They doing great in my opinion
I want to go there just so I can barbecue a couple of them 🤣🤤
@Jeronimo mod Idiot.
Scam. Save it form what? you had one captured and it died. You need to leave them be.
i cant say you're wrong but you know people wont.
.u0u
So just have a research and make them go extinct for real this time
I've seen a video of my hmong people hunting and eating one.
Can you share it with us? Info@saolafoundation.org
What a beautiful animal, I hope you’re able to raise the funds to save it from extinction ❤️
How bout just save it.
Doing a project on these magnificent creatures for my schoolwork and it’s such a shame to see how low their estimated numbers are. So glad I have found some hope for these animals through this organization
I support you.
Very uplifting video.
Reality?
Snares, snares, snares.
I know, I've got no right to speak; I live in Holland. We destroyed every flora and fauna overhere before we started thinking.
But we didn't had any rainforests. Or Saolas.
Education for locals is the remedy. IMHO
🔆
Education for urbanites is necessary, too. They have no idea of what rural life is about, but they have no problem forcing their ill informed, Disney toxic, nature deprived beliefs on rural people and calling us "barbaric savages" for living lives that, while they leave a far smaller footprint on the environment, do things that offend their "sophisticated" urban sensibilities. Rural people have a vested interest in the health of the environment, yet we are demonized by people who do more damage to Gaia in a month than any of us do in a lifetime. You know that the cities you live n produce 70% of the world's greenhouse gasses, so you absolve yourselves of that guilt by going vegan and demonizing the people who feed you. You Europeans are particularly bad. You use more than your share of the world's resources, your fishing fleets are destroying fish stocks around the globe, yet you pretend to be so environmentally righteous! It's a nauseating display of hypocrisy. Here in Canada, we've had a moritorium on fishing cod for over 30 years. The rural culture in the Eastern provinces, my culture, is dying. Yet the European boats are still out there beyond our offshore limit, vaccuuming what's he left of fish out of the sea. Yet you have "moral concerns" with the sustainable, humane harvesting of seals??? I have "moral issues" with the blatant hypocrisy of that.
Wouldn’t snares trap them and harm them? Isn’t that what poachers use?
Espero um dia que possamos encontrar algum vivo, esse animal e místico meio que uma lenda de tão raro que é! Espero que não esteja extinto.
I seriously have a Saola playlist of every single video I could find showing a Saola. My favorite animal.
I wanna see it!
@@epicbrawlstars808 me too. When I win the lottery let's go
@@tuRbo-_-crOw yes, but I was talking about ur playlist
@@epicbrawlstars808 then see playlists
Joe Rogan’s podcast brought me here. 🤣
a yt short of his podcast brought me here 🤣
Education is great and everyone should know about this majestic creature. But I don't understand how hunting it down will save it. Can't we just leave it alone
Leave them alone. You’re the one killing them! Let them live naturally like they intend to.
YT ppl love to use the word ‘discover’. ‘The 1st outsiders to see it’ is a better way to describe it. I’m sure Vietnamese & Laotian have encouraged them before.
Oh damn I didn't know they were endangered!!!! I'm from a Northeast Indian tribe called 'Paite'(There are hundreds of different tribes in NE India but we no longer live as such, mainly coz "development" was brought to us by the British missionaries in the late 1890s and early 1900s).
Not even 30 yrs ago these deers roamed our tribal hills and dense rainforests. In my dialect we call them 'Sa za'( Sa meaning animal and Za meaning a hundred. I don't know how that's supposed to even make sense).
Anyways, my point is, my dad caught 2 of these deers and we still have their taxidermied heads. Up until the mid 1990s, hunting was still a big deal here, with men going out in groups of maybe 4-10 and shooting boars, deer, these 'Sazas', black bears, eagles, vultures, hornbills anf and so on. Of course it was illegal and indeed a very bad thing....but we didn't know any better. Lack of proper education on the importance of wildlife plus that tribal hunter-gatherer mindset and to be honest, most of us hunted for sustenance (for food, to be sold and as barter/exchange items with other commodities).
Edit : Yes they are no longer found here. You can still see boars, monkeys, a bunch of deer species, (rarely)bears, all sorts of snakes, etc. if you venture deep enough into the thick tropical wilderness.
In a zoo in czechia they have a statue of a saola from wood for people could learn about it more
Stop scamming people, you have started raising funds for the animal which we haven't even seen yet completely..
Okay so you find it in the wild... and then what?
Wouldn't it be better off if people just leave it alone?
It is a catastrophic typhoon now 😢
Unicorn but actually a bicorn. Got scammed again.
so cool!
Please do not destroy
A unicorn with 2 horns?
i wanna eat that.. must taste wonderful if its so rare😁😀
Sheep taste better.
Finally video of the unique scent? Gland nostril OPENING.. the strange part of it's face between the nose and eyes I have been telling my children and anyone who has any ear to listen about the wonderful Saola..about for years. I've been searching for what must have been the Saola Foundations vid from. The 90's. There are dozens of UA-cam videos about the Saola and none show it opening I'm sure none of those people behind the yt video have any clue it opens. I need to be part of this I'm so unbelievably grateful this organization exists .
Guys save my house cause I am in Hong Kong the salon is in Hong Kong pls
So sorry to hear this. I hope you and loved ones are all well.
Give me money to save an animal we don’t even know exists. What a joke:
The WWF lists them as an endangered species and they are videos of the saola online so I’m almost 100% sure they exist
Are monkeys (chimpanzees) eating them?
There's no chimps in asia also they are way to big for any monkey
Oh yeah we had a similar looking animal in North East India, hunted them all back in like the 1960s, they said the meat tasted like 'Saza' which to be honest tastes like boiled water with beef hanging on top to infuse some scent of beef, extremely bland.
i get that its bad to introduce a animal to another habitat at risk of it becoming an invasive species but like you get find more places for these guys to live. surely they can live somewhere other than just the animte mountains go find a similar habitat and put them their is they become invasive we can deal with that problem when we get to it
maybe u guys should promote this movement at TikTok🙂
Sir help in saving himalayan brown bear and kashmari stage
