Sadly it died before scientists could get to it.
No biologist has ever reported seeing the rare Saola in the wild and there are none of them in captivity.

The animal was discovered in the forests of South-East Asia as recently as 1992.

There have only been a few photos of the Saola taken so far, by villagers and automatic camera traps.
