Aside from Jeremy's valid point that so few of the these animals have ever been seen or studied. But since the time and money required to sequence whole genomes is dropping so rapidly, it might soon be feasible to sequence even genomes of species that presently wouldn't be considered a high priority - such as that of the kouprey. If one had nuclear DNA, that is..... In the age of genome analyses I think it would be difficult to convince anyone of the status of a species just by looking at it.
