This photo taken in 1993 and released by WWF shows a Saola in Vietnam when it was captured. It was one of two Saola captured alive in central Vietnam, but both died months later in captivity. Saola, one of the rarest and most threatened mammals on earth has been caught on camera in Vietnam for the first time in 15 years in September in central Vietnam, renewing hope for the recovery of the species, international conservation group WWF said Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013.

This Sept. 7, 2013 photo released by WWF, shows the Saola in a forest in Vietnam.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — One of the rarest and most threatened mammals on earthhas been caught on camera in Vietnam for the first time in 15 years, renewinghope for the recovery of the species, an international conservation group saidWednesday.

河内，越南—据一国际动物保护组织星期三透露，索拉羚，作为世界上最珍稀的濒危哺乳动物之一，十五年来第一次被镜头捕捉到。使人们对恢复该物种重新燃起了希望。

The Saola, a long-horned ox, wasphotographed by a camera in a forest in central Vietnam in September, the WWFsaid in a statement Wednesday.

索拉羚是一种长着长犄角的牛。据世界野生动物基金会（WWF）的一份声明，今年九月此物种在越南中部的森林里被一部相机捕捉到。

（译注：中南大羚（学名：Pseudoryxnghetinhensis），又称为武广牛、安南锭角羚、剑角牛、索拉羚等，是偶蹄目下牛科中南大羚属中的单属种，1992年才被发现。目前分类仍不确定是属于牛、羚羊或山羊等。族群数目存疑，目前全世界有记录的只有11只，因此在IUCN红色名录内被列为极危物种。 ——百度百科）

"This is a breathtaking discoveryand renews hope for the recovery of the species," Van Ngoc Thinh, WWF -Vietnam's country director, was quoted as saying.

世界野生动物基金会越南地方总监VănNgọc Thỉnh表示:“此项发现激动人心，让我们对恢复该物种重新燃起了希望。”

The animal wasdiscovered in the remote areas of high mountains near the border with Laos in1992 when a joint team of WWF and Vietnam's forest control agency found a skullwith unusual horns in a hunter's home. The find proved to be the first largemammal new to science in more than 50 years, according to the WWF.

1992年在越南和老挝的偏远的多山边境地区，一个由越南林业保护部门和基金会组建的联合考察小组在该地区一个猎人家里发现一个动物头骨上的角不同寻常，由此该物种被发现。据基金会表明，此次是科学界50多年来第一次发现大型哺乳动物新物种。

In Vietnam, thelast sighting of a Saola in the wild was in 1998, according to Dang DinhNguyen, director of the Saola natural reserve in central province of Quang Nam.

越南中部广南省索拉羚自然保护区主任 Dang Dinh Nguyen表示，在越南最后一次发现野生索拉羚是在1998年。

In the areawhere the Saola was photographed, WWF has recruited forest guards from localcommunities to remove snares and battle illegal hunting, the greatest threat toSaola's survival, the statement said. The snares were set to largely catchother animals, such as deer and civets, which are a delicacy in Vietnam.

据基金会的声明，该基金会已在此次发现索拉羚的地区招募一批当地的林业员，移除陷阱并阻止非法捕杀——该物种的生存的最大的威胁。在越南，捕捉陷阱大部分是用来捕捉在当地视为美味的鹿，麝香猫之类的动物。

Twenty yearsafter its discovery, little is known about Saola and the difficulty indetecting the elusive animal has prevented scientists from making a precisepopulation estimate.

即使在该物种被首次发现二十年后，人们对于它们还是知之甚少。鉴于发现该动物的难度，科学家们一直不能准确推算该物种种群数量。

At best, no morethan few hundreds, and maybe only a few dozen, survive the remote, denseforests along the border with Laos, WWF said.

基金会表示，在越南与老挝边境偏远茂密的森林中，即使最乐观的估计也不会生存超过几百只，也许只有几十只。

Hopefully they can trap a couple ofpairs of this ox and then they can start a farming of this species. If not thefew left will end up in some farmers dinner bowl alongside his rice.

希望他们可以捕捉到一对，然后就可以弄一个此物种的养殖场了。不幸的话，仅剩的几只就会成为一些农民的下饭菜了。。。。

Here's a chance for us to do somethingpositive for the earth we live on... There is more to it than our warmongeringprofiteering for our minority oligarchic elite. This is something we can do forall human kind.

这是我们能为赖以生存的地球做点有积极意义的事的机会…比起我们的战争贩子通过寡头政治精英们获取暴利，这有意义得多。这是我们可以为全人类做的事。

I think this is an awesome discovery butlike others I think that people need to shut-up about discovering animals likethis until you get a grips on population or what you can do to protect them.Vietnam, like China, makes me sick in the fact they have the coolest animals inthe world yet they can't wait to hunt them all down. So, c'mon cease theadvertising- I like hearing the news but damn I'd like to see the animal have achance to live.

我觉得这项发现同其他发现一样棒！但是和其他人一样，我认为，在了解到种群数量或者找到保护它们的方法之前，不要公布出来！越南，和中国一样让我感到恶心。他们有全世界最酷的动物，却还是迫不及待地想把它们猎杀光。所以，拜托，不要再为这种动物做“广告”了吧，虽然我希望看到此类新闻，但是我更希望该物种有生存的机会！

In Minnesota the hmong people whoimmigrated into The USA routinely catch 20 times their limit of fish. Whenhunting season starts they kill fawns, rabbits, squirrels and song birds by thesack full. It's how they see the world. Maybe some culturally sensitive peoplewho understand their diversity should approach them and present the book "Bambi " ?

在明尼苏达州的苗族移民中，他们捕获了限定捕捞量20倍的鱼。当捕猎季节来临时，他们大量猎杀小鹿，兔子，松鼠以及鸣叫的鸟。这就是他们看待世界的方式。也许一些对文化区别敏感的理解他们的多样化的人应该接近他们然后送他们一本《小鹿斑比》？

It seems like their survival is not injeopardy from dense forests, but from snares and illegal hunting, and peoplewith good intentions trying to put them in captivity.

“基金会表示，在越南与老挝边境偏远茂密的森林中，即使最乐观的估计也不会生存超过几百只，也许只有几十只。”
看来对他们造成威胁的不是茂密的森林，而是捕捉陷阱和非法猎杀，以及那些怀有“好心”的想要把他们捕进牢笼的人。

Will shark-finning, elephant and rhinopoaching be totally banned? Now that the Chinese in mainland are the highestbidders since they now have the money they did not have 30 years ago? Themassive killing of these 3 species all have to do with Chinese consumption.

捕杀鲨鱼，偷猎大象和犀牛的活动能完全被禁止吗？中国人成为了出价最高者，是因为他们不同于三十年前而有了钱？对这三种物种大猎杀都与中国的需求有关系。

Elusive, they have to be. The localswill wok them up in a second.

难以找到，必须的啊。不然当地的人会毫不犹豫的把它们弄来炒了。

Interesting. As a soldier in Vietnam in1968, my platoon came upon a moose out in the boonies that had been killed byartillery fire. We were astounded.

很有意思。1968年我还是一名被派去越南的士兵的时候。我的排在穷乡僻壤的地方发现了一头被火炮炸死的驯鹿。我们都惊呆了。
