Dr Noelle Kumpel, ZSL's Bushmeat and Forests Conservation Programme Manager, said: "To have captured the first-ever photographs of such a charismatic creature is amazing, and particularly special for ZSL given that the species was originally described here over a century ago.
This is a wonderful happening, to photograph an animal that was thought to be extinct is very rare. The fact that there are still some alive may give hope that there is still a chance for humans to make a difference and help protect ALL wildlife. -

Isn't it cool, a real Unicorn!! I use to collect Unicorns in my younger days, I bet at one time on this planet there was an animal with a much larger horn spurring the tales of Unicorns.
