Saola Field Sketch Framed Art Print

Because nothing says “blink and you’ll miss it” like an animal so rare it’s nicknamed the Asian unicorn—and no, not in a sparkly Lisa Frank way.

Why It’s Tragically Perfect

This field-drawing-style illustration of the elusive saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) captures the quiet majesty of a creature most people will never see in the wild—because there are barely any left. Available in four sizes (8x10, 9x12, 11x14, 12x16) and three frame colors (white, black, espresso), this print lets you decorate your walls with a whisper of extinction. A portion of every purchase supports nonprofits fighting to keep endangered species like the saola from becoming cryptids with better PR.

Endangered Stats 🦌

• Critically Endangered – Fewer than 100 individuals are estimated to exist in the wild, and none are in captivity.
• Discovered in 1992 – That’s right, this large mammal was unknown to science until the '90s.
• Native to the Annamite Mountains – Found only in the border forests of Laos and Vietnam, where habitat loss and poaching are rapidly erasing their last strongholds.
• So rare, it’s almost mythical – Hence the name. And hence why we’re obsessed.

Perfect For

• Conservationists who like their wall art rare and their humor darker than a poacher’s soul
• Biology nerds, cryptid collectors, and lovers of obscure megafauna
• Earth Day gifts that say “I care, but I’m also emotionally exhausted”
• Anyone who wants to hang a unicorn on their wall and feel something

Frame the myth. Hang the heartbreak. Help keep the saola from becoming just another cautionary tale.
