Saola — size comparison — facts and sources
The saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) is a rarely observed bovid known from humid forests in the Annamite Mountains along the Laos–Vietnam border. It was scientifically described in 1992.
It is a herbivore feeding on leaves and other parts of forest plants. Forest alteration and snaring are among the threats to the species.
Knowledge of its life remains limited. Much information comes from remains, tracks and a few camera-trap records; its detailed activity pattern is poorly understood.
