About the chinese goral
The Chinese goral is a small, goat-like mountain ungulate native to Myanmar, China, India, Thailand and Vietnam, and possibly Laos. Standing 50 to 78 cm at the shoulder, it is stockily built with stout limbs, broad hooves and short conical horns. Its coat ranges from pale grey to reddish brown, with a dark stripe down the back. It keeps to rugged rocky slopes and plateaus, where wolves and leopards are less able to reach it, and moves lower in winter. Small groups of up to 12 browse twigs and leaves, and also eat grass, nuts and acorns.

AZAThe Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Accredited members have passed an independent inspection of animal care and welfare, safety, conservation and education, repeated every five years. Many smaller facilities never apply, so “not accredited” isn't a verdict on its own. What accreditation means · How we check this
