Saola / Sao la

The Saola, also known as the “Asian unicorn”, is one of the most distinctive and endangered large mammals in the world.
No biologist has ever seen it in the wild and the only images of the species in the wild are from camera trap devices set up by conservationists in the forests of Lao PDR and Viet Nam.
Since the species is so elusive and rare, few people are aware of the urgency of its conservation and how crucial it is to devote resources and conservation action before the species goes extinct and Viet Nam and Lao PDR lose one of their symbols of unique biodiversity.

Maybe, I think.
Well, from Wikipedia: DNA analysis has led scientists to place the saola as a member of the tribe Bovini (cattle and buffaloes).

I think it is similar to Indonesian "Anoa", and it is the same families but different species tho.

That looks like a distant cousin indeed, and both are endangered species.
Saola is the mascot of the SEA Games 2021. Let's make anoa the SEA Games' mascot someday.

Yeah hopefully.

But besides that we also have a different kind of "Anoa" which is a bit aggressive.
