Red Goral

Mammals

The red goral, Naemorhedus baileyi, is a species of even-toed ungulate in the subfamily Caprinae of the family Bovidae. It is found in India, China (Tibet) and Myanmar. Its natural habitats are seasonal mountainous areas 1,000 to 2,000 metres above sea level. It is threatened by habitat loss and hunting, and hunting is a major threat to its continued survival, while habitat loss from forestry practices and clearing for agriculture adds to the pressure. The IUCN lists the red goral as vulnerable, and the species is listed on Appendix I of CITES. It is related to the Himalayan goral, the Chinese goral and the long-tailed goral, which share its genus.
