Naemorhedus
The gorals are four species in the genus ''Naemorhedus''. They are small ungulates with a goat-like or antelope-like appearance. Until recently, this genus also contained the serow species (now in genus '' Capricornis''). Etymology The original name is based on Latin ''nemor-haedus'', from ''nemus, nemoris'' 'grove' and ''haedus'' 'little goat', but it was misspelt ''Naemorhedus'' by Hamilton Smith (1827). of International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature reads: "If there is in the original publication itself, without recourse to any external source of information, clear evidence of an inadvertent error, such as a lapsus calami or a copyist's or printer's error, it must be corrected."

Red Goral
The red goral (''Naemorhedus baileyi'') is a species of even-toed ungulate in the subfamily Caprinae in the family Bovidae. It is found in India, Tibet and Myanmar. Its natural habitats are seasonal mountainous areas 1,000 to 2,000 meters above sea level. It is threatened by habitat loss and hunting. Origin and discovery The genus name ''Naemorhedus'' is derived from the Latin words ''nemus'' (genitive ''nemoris''), meaning "forest", and ''haedus'', meaning a young goat. Reports dating back to 1912 of a remarkable foxy-red coloured goral or goat-antelope (Nemorhaedus) from S.E. Tibet and N.E. Assam have been investigated. One of the earliest recorded references to their existence was made in 1863, however it was not until 1961 that the red goral was identified as its own species. Red goral are endemic to the region where the borders of India, Myanmar, and China meet. Appearance and morphology The red goral is a bright foxy-red animal with long, soft, shaggy hair. A thin, ...

Long-tailed Goral
The long-tailed goral or Amur goral (''Naemorhedus caudatus'') is a species of ungulate of the family Bovidae found in the mountains of eastern and northern Asia, including Russia, China, and Korea. A population of this species exists in the Korean Demilitarized Zone, near the tracks of the Donghae Bukbu Line. The species is classified as endangered in South Korea, with an estimated population less than 250. It has been designated South Korean natural monument 217. In 2003, the species was reported as being present in Arunachal Pradesh, in northeast India. Geographical distribution The long-tailed goral (also known as the Chinese gray goral) was and is sparsely found in the wild throughout China, Russia, and Korea, as well as the Himalayas.Crane, M., J. Willard and J. Grant. 2009. "''Naemorhedus caudatus''" (On-line), Animal Diversity Web.

Himalayan Goral
The Himalayan goral (''Naemorhedus goral'') or the gray goral, is a bovid species native to the Himalayas. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List because the population is thought to be declining significantly due to habitat loss and hunting for meat. Characteristics The Himalayan goral is in length and weighs . It has a gray or gray-brown coat with tan legs, lighter patches on its throat, and a single dark stripe along its spine. Males have short manes on their necks. Both males and females have backward-curving horns which can grow up to in length. In addition to certain peculiarities in the form of the skull, gorals are chiefly distinguished from the closely related serows in that they do not possess preorbital glands below their eyes, nor corresponding depressions in their skulls. Distribution and habitat The Himalayan goral occurs in the Himalayas from Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, southern Tibet, and the states of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh in India to possi ...

Chinese Goral
The Chinese goral (''Naemorhedus griseus''), also known as the grey long-tailed goral or central Chinese 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". Description The Chinese goral is intermediate between an antelope and a goat and grows to a shoulder height of and length of . 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Serow
The serows ( or ) are four species of medium-sized goat-like or antelope-like mammals of the genus ''Capricornis''. All four species of serow were until recently also classified under '' Naemorhedus'', which now only contains the gorals. Extant species This genus has been studied and organized a number of times. In 2005, Mammal Species of the World 3rd ed. listed six different species (''C. crispus'', ''C. milneedwardsii'', ''C. rubidus'', ''C. sumatraensis'', ''C. swinhoei'', and ''C. thar''), with two subspecies of ''C. milneedwardsii''. The current consensus are the following four species, with ''milneedwardsii'' and ''thar'' demoted to subspecies of ''C. sumatraensis'': Serows live in central and eastern Asia. Their coloration varies by species, region, and individual. Both sexes have beards and small horns which are often shorter than their ears. Like their smaller relatives the gorals, serows are often found grazing on rocky hills, though typically at a lower elevation w ...
