The Burmese goral, Naemorhedus evansi, is a goat-antelope that has often been treated as part of the Chinese goral, and the account used here is for the Chinese goral. That animal is stocky, 50 to 78cm at the shoulder and 82 to 130cm long, with short conical horns, fairly long pointed ears and a coat from pale grey to reddish brown with a dark stripe down the back. It lives on rugged, steep rocky slopes and plateaus and sometimes in mixed woodland (Wikipedia, general species account).

It eats mainly twigs and leaves, and also grass, nuts and acorns. Groups of up to 12 are usual, though older males are mostly solitary. They are wary, live on high slopes and move lower in winter. Breeding is in late spring, with one or two kids after about 215 days. The account puts the Chinese goral in north-east India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and China (Wikipedia, general species account).
