Last seen in 2013, the elusive saola or 'Asian unicorn' may be extinct—or still hiding in Vietnam’s forests. New genetic study offers a glimmer of hope.

The saola’s newly sequenced genome offers hope for one of Earth’s rarest mammals.

Scientists have sequenced the genome of one of the rarest animals in the world: the 'Asian unicorn', which hasn't been seen ...

In the remote, misty highland forests straddling Vietnam and Laos, a rare creature may still roam unseen. Known as the saola, ...

Scientists have decoded the genome of the elusive saola, also known as the Asian unicorn, a rare mammal unseen for years.

Even then, it was already endangered. Today, even the most optimistic estimates say fewer than 100 saola individuals (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) remain, but it could also be extinct by now.

Native to Vietnam, the saola is a horned species so illusive, it’s been nicknamed the Asian unicorn. Researchers reconstructed the genomes of 26 saola using samples from hunting trophies.

The saola, an antelope-like bovine, is one of the world's rarest and most endangered mammals. In fact, it hasn't been observed in over 10 years. Researchers have now mapped the saola's complete genome ...
