Endangered Asian 'unicorn' captured, first sighting in decade

[quote[Scientists have confirmed the first sighting in more than a decade of one of the world's rarest animals -- the saola, sometimes called the Asian "unicorn."

The animal was captured by villagers in Laos in August, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

The villagers took the saola back to their village in Bolikhamxay province and Laotian conservation authorities sent a team to check on the animal. The creature, likely weakened from its time in captivity, died shortly after that team arrived.
