The Chinese Goral (Naemorhedus griseus) is an extremely vulnerable species found in China, Myanmar, India, and even Thailand. It is also called central Chinese goral or gray long-tailed goral, preferring steep areas and mountainous plateaus. It has antelope and goat-like features and females have four teats. Besides, it has a stocky build supported by long, stout limbs. The coat is short and covered in coarse guard hairs. The color can be pale gray, reddish brown, or dark brown, but with pale underparts. Besides, dark stripes can be seen running along the back. The ears are long and pointed and the horns short and conical. Mature males can be solitary, but others are found in social groupings.
