Wow ! Rare 'Asian unicorn' caught on camera

Environmentalists in Vietnam are very excited this week after a hidden camera in a forest managed to take pictures of deer are very rare Saola, one big mammal and most rare on earth.This animal is estimated there are hundreds or even dozens of the earth, and in addition it is very difficult animals in the catch, made in dubbed as the unicorn of Asia. That moniker comes despite the fact it has two closely spaced parallel horns.

"These are the most important wild animal photographs taken in Asia, and perhaps the world, in at least the past decade," said William Robichaud, coordinator of the Saola Working Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Species Survival Commission, in a World Wildlife Fund press release.

"This is an historic moment in Vietnam's efforts to protect our extraordinary biodiversity," Dang Dinh Nguyen, deputy head of the country's Quang Nam Forest Protection Department, said in the release.

The saola, which is a relative of cattle but looks like an antelope, was first discovered in 1992 in forests along the Vietnam-Laos border. A WWF survey team found a skull of the animal in a hunter's home. In Vietnam, a saola was last seen in the wild in 1998. In Laos, a remote camera snapped a picture of one in the wild in 1999. And in 2010, Laotian villagers captured a saola that died before word got to researchers.
