Seriously Rare Animal Photographed

For the first time in 15 years, a camera trap in a forest in Vietnam captured an image of an extremely rare mammal on Earth, the Saola. “This is a breathtaking discovery and renews hope for the recovery of the species,” WWF's Vietnam director said. The creature, which was first discovered in the mountains in 1992 and resembles an antelope or an ox, was pictured walking through foliage. As far as the WWF know, no more than a few hundred, and maybe only a few dozen, are living along Vietnam's border.
