The Chinese goral lives in the steep slopes of wooded mountains in
east-central China. Most commonly, they live at 3,000 to 8,000 feet but
they have been seen at much higher altitudes. Chinese gorals
are shy, but territorial creatures that live in groups of up to twelve individuals. They have a stout body and weigh from 48 to 77 pounds. Their wooly
undercoat with long, coarse guard hairs is well suited for life in a
cold climate. Their summer coat is shorter and thinner.
