Chinese Goral

The Chinese goral (Naemorhedus griseus), also known as the grey long-tailed
goral, is a species of goral, a small goat-like ungulate, native to
mountainous regions of Myanmar, China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, and possibly
Laos. In some parts of its range, it is overhunted. The International Union
for Conservation of Nature has listed it as a "vulnerable species".  The
Chinese goral is intermediate between an antelope and a goat and grows to a
shoulder height of 50 to 78 cm (20 to 31 in) and length of 82 to 130 cm (32 to
51 in). It is stockily built with long, stout limbs and broad hooves. The
horns are short and conical and the ears fairly long and pointed. The four
teats are in contrast to sheep and goats which normally have two. The coat
consists of a short, dense under layer and an upper layer of longer,
semierect, coarse guard hairs. The colour is somewhat variable, ranging from
pale grey to dark brown or reddish brown. A dark stripe runs along the back
and the throat and underparts are pale. The Chinese goral is native to parts
of southeastern Asia. Its range extends from northeastern India, Myanmar and
northwestern Thailand, through northern Vietnam and possibly northern Laos, to
most of China apart from the extreme north and west. It is a mountain species
and is found in rugged, inaccessible areas, on steep slopes and plateaus,
normally staying in rocky areas, but sometimes venturing into nearby
evergreen-deciduous forest and mixed woodland. Chinese gorals live in small
groups of up to 12 individuals, though older males are usually solitary. They
are wary and retiring, spending their time on high rocky slopes where they can
evade such predators as the wolf and leopard. They move to lower ground in
winter. They browse predominately on twigs and leaves of bushes, but also
consume grass, nuts, and acorns. Breeding takes place in late spring when one
or two kids are born after a gestation period of about 215 days. The young can
walk soon after birth and are weaned in the autumn, remaining with the mother
throughout the winter. Model and Skin: PLATYPUS, TAMARA HENSON, ZTABC. Text
