Saola | Species | WWF - World Wildlife Fund
Saola (pronounced: saw-la) are recognized by two parallel horns with sharp ends, which can reach 20 inches in length and are found on both males and females. Meaning “spindle horns” in Lao and a Tai ethnic language in Viet Nam, they are a cousin of cattle but resemble an antelope.
In 1993, the saola joined in the distinction of being one of only six new large mammal species discovered in the 20th century. By 1997, the number increased to eight, thanks to the discovery of two species of deer, the large-antlered or giant muntjac (Muntiacus vuquangensis), found in Vu Quang in 1994, and the Truong Son or Annamite muntjac
