The actual size of the remaining population is unknown. Its rarity, distinctiveness and vulnerability make it one of the greatest priorities for conservation in the region. The current population is thought to be a few hundred at a maximum and possibly only a few dozen at a minimum.

They aren't! There were two or three species of hoofed animals discovered in Vietnam in the 1990's such as the Saola, plus many others discovered before then. Google "Saola".
Saola are threatened by incidental snaring, hunting to supply the illegal wildlife trade, and habitat loss. Due to its highly elusive nature and remote habitat, limited information about the saola's distribution, abundance, habitat use, or diet has been revealed since its discovery in 1992.
