GORAL

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 246 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GORAL , the native name of a small Himalayan rough-haired and cylindrical-horned ruminant classed in the same
group
  as the
chamois
 . Scientifically this
animal
  is known as Urodragus (or Cemas) goral; and the native name is now employed as the designation of all the other members of the same genus. In addition to certain peculiarities in the form of the
skull
 , gorals are chiefly distinguished from serows (q.v.) by not possessing a gland below the eye, nor a corresponding depression in the
skull
 . Several
species
  are known, ranging from the Himalaya to Burma, Tibet and
North
 
China
 . Of these, the two Himalayan gorals (U. goral and U. bedfordi) are usually found in small parties, but less commonly in pairs. They generally frequent grassy hills, or rocky ground clothed with forest; in fine
weather
  feeding only in the mornings and evenings, but when the sky is cloudy grazing throughout the day.
