Extremely peculiar situation. Juvenile elephant seal off the beach at Midigama. The only documented sighting of a seal in Sri Lankan waters ever. Sorry for the picture quality. The navy and wildlife department are monitoring the situation.

The Saola was only discovered to science in 1992. There are no Saola in captivity. No Saola have been seen by scientists in the wild. A few records on camera trap exist. In 2004, there were still reports of Saola deep in the Truong Son mountains. This individual was confiscated from hunters in A'Luoi district, in the western reaches of the province. The other pictures are from interviews with Ka Tu ethnic hunters in A'Luoi and A'Vuong districts (Minh Hoang). The last photo is James with rangers from Hue Forest Department examining Saola tracks in A'Luoi - and identifzing schistamoglottis plants, reportedly favoured food for the saola.
In 2013, its status is critical. See what is happening on http://www.savethesaola.org/
