Saola || Critically Endangered

Postby Caela » Thu Oct 01, 2015 12:39 pm

I really love these beautiful animals, but they're nearly extinct. ;V; The saola's habitat is being destroyed to make way for buildings and fields, but poaching is also a major threat. Parts of them are used in traditional medicine and the meat is served in some restaurants and food markets. Discovered in 1992, their population is estimated to be about 200, maybe 250, but it could be anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred. They are considered critically endangered.

"For saola, extinction in the wild would mean its extinction everywhere, with no possible chance of recovery."

What a cutie! And excellent details and proportions.

It's sad to think humans are causing the sixth mass extinction, though. Elephants, rhinos, tigers, pangolins, and these guys... I here twenty species of undiscovered birds go extinct each day due to deforestation. Not to mention the oceans are running out of fish due to commercial fishing. Then there are the whales and sharks killed for soup.
