 * The current consensus is that the saola is so rare and so solitary in terms of genetic relatives that it should be placed not only in its own separate genus but also in its own tribe (Pseudorygini) within the subfamily.

 * Killing or capture of saola is prohibited by law in both Vietnam and Lao PDR, and the sale of wildlife in both countries is generally illegal, but there is insufficient enforcement of these laws in both countries.
