Soalas

Soalas are listed as, critically endangered
They are found in the mountains, of Laos and Vietnam
and are known as, the Asian Unicorn by the Vietnamese
and were only discovered in 1992, as something brand new 

The Soalas meaning, is “spindle horns”, in Vietnamese
and they resemble a Antelope, with a white marked face
They are a rarely seen mammal, but now they stand out to please
and they are the first new mammal, for the scientist’s database

Humans are encroaching, into the land of the Soalas territory
to deforest and build, plantations, agriculture and infrastructure
Soalas get caught in snares, that protect crops from other mammals
so let’s stop the human invasion, to protect these amazing animals
