So glad to have worked on this project with you guys! When I first discovered the existence of this animal, I was truly blown away. It really seemed like a fictional story. I'm reassured that I found out that The Saola Foundation exists and really happy that I got to help with this video to hopefully raise some funds for the search. I have a good feeling we'll be able to save this beautiful elusive species...Let's hope and work for the best 🤞🏼

He is one of the holy animal of one of the heavenly kingdom of ancient world. These holy animals helped the humanity to survive in its very bad times. Ancient people worshipped these animals because they signals them before big disaster. Helped the human to survive.That's why ancient Sramnisim/Shamanism / Budhisim religion's also mentioned this animal with Bodhe tree . Very special animals of ancient civilizations. Great ancestors of animal world.

The Saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) may look like an antelope, but it is actually a primitive cattle, the saola is the only surviving representative of the genus Pseudoryx and the subtribe Pseudorygina, Pseudorygina is the most basal extant subtribe of cattle, a cattle is any bovid that belongs to the tribe Bovini, there are three extant subtribes of cattle, Pseudorygina - the saola and its extinct relatives (includes 1 genus: Pseudoryx), Bubalina - the buffalo (includes 3 genera: Anoa, Bubalus, and Syncerus), and Bovina - the true cattle (includes 4 genera: Bibos, Bos, Poephagus, and Bison).

I support you. Very uplifting video. Reality? Snares, snares, snares. I know, I've got no right to speak; I live in Holland. We destroyed every flora and fauna overhere before we started thinking. But we didn't had any rainforests. Or Saolas. Education for locals is the remedy. IMHO 🔆

@wfcoaker1398 2 жыл бұрын

Education for urbanites is necessary, too. They have no idea of what rural life is about, but they have no problem forcing their ill informed, Disney toxic, nature deprived beliefs on rural people and calling us "barbaric savages" for living lives that, while they leave a far smaller footprint on the environment, do things that offend their "sophisticated" urban sensibilities. Rural people have a vested interest in the health of the environment, yet we are demonized by people who do more damage to Gaia in a month than any of us do in a lifetime. You know that the cities you live n produce 70% of the world's greenhouse gasses, so you absolve yourselves of that guilt by going vegan and demonizing the people who feed you. You Europeans are particularly bad. You use more than your share of the world's resources, your fishing fleets are destroying fish stocks around the globe, yet you pretend to be so environmentally righteous! It's a nauseating display of hypocrisy. Here in Canada, we've had a moritorium on fishing cod for over 30 years. The rural culture in the Eastern provinces, my culture, is dying. Yet the European boats are still out there beyond our offshore limit, vaccuuming what's he left of fish out of the sea. Yet you have "moral concerns" with the sustainable, humane harvesting of seals??? I have "moral issues" with the blatant hypocrisy of that.

Finally video of the unique scent? Gland nostril OPENING.. the strange part of it's face between the nose and eyes I have been telling my children and anyone who has any ear to listen about the wonderful Saola..about for years. I've been searching for what must have been the Saola Foundations vid from. The 90's. There are dozens of KZbin videos about the Saola and none show it opening I'm sure none of those people behind the yt video have any clue it opens. I need to be part of this I'm so unbelievably grateful this organization exists .

I hope the Saola can survive. I am currently in the Annamite mountains in Vietnam. Unfortunately, whenever talking to the local people here I get the impression that they couldn't care less about Saola and the wildlife here. One local said, if the Saola really still exists in Phong Nha National Park, thr local people will already have captured and sold it or hunted the last one down .

Also look up the 'Neelagiri tiger'. A man named Dijo Thomas is trying to prove its existence, but the government of India and foreign organisations are refusing to help him. The animal is a large carnivore that grows to the size of a tiger or lion, but has canid and cat like characteristics. He fears the animal is in danger of going extinct, and reckons there are only a few scores of them left in the forests of southern India.

@danieln9226 2 жыл бұрын

Oh damn I didn't know they were endangered!!!! I'm from a Northeast Indian tribe called 'Paite'(There are hundreds of different tribes in NE India but we no longer live as such, mainly coz "development" was brought to us by the British missionaries in the late 1890s and early 1900s). Not even 30 yrs ago these deers roamed our tribal hills and dense rainforests. In my dialect we call them 'Sa za'( Sa meaning animal and Za meaning a hundred. I don't know how that's supposed to even make sense). Anyways, my point is, my dad caught 2 of these deers and we still have their taxidermied heads. Up until the mid 1990s, hunting was still a big deal here, with men going out in groups of maybe 4-10 and shooting boars, deer, these 'Sazas', black bears, eagles, vultures, hornbills anf and so on. Of course it was illegal and indeed a very bad thing....but we didn't know any better. Lack of proper education on the importance of wildlife plus that tribal hunter-gatherer mindset and to be honest, most of us hunted for sustenance (for food, to be sold and as barter/exchange items with other commodities). Edit : Yes they are no longer found here. You can still see boars, monkeys, a bunch of deer species, (rarely)bears, all sorts of snakes, etc. if you venture deep enough into the thick tropical wilderness.

I know the Saola's range is between Vietnam and Laos, but is it possible it could be in Thailand as well? I mean, think about it. The jungles of Southeast Asia are ancient, dense, and remote, the perfect place to hide an animal of any kind.

Notice how an animal which looks very close to a mountain goat suddenly becomes "beautiful and extraordinary" bcoz it is about to go extinct.Humans do not value anything when it's abundant and close to them rather get it's value when it's about to go extinct.They do it with other humans least of all animals.Cherish what u have when u have it bcoz when it's gone u will only cry for it to come back(for example ur parents).Also conservation & animal love should be done without even asking people to do it but some r born a**holes like the elites and privileged with "exotic" tastes.
