Chinese Goral Naemorhedus goral arnouxianus ©Laura Quick This is the first time I've seen these guys out and about at the LA Zoo. Chinese gorals are built for climbing and jumping. 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. Males have a short, semi-erect mane and longer conical horns that those seen in the females (9 inches in the males and 7.5 inches in the females). The piercing horns are capable of inflicting great damage to their opponents. #chinesegoral #antelope #naemorhedusgoral #naemorhedusgoralarnouxianus #©lauraquick #antelope #losangeleszooandbotanicalpark #losangelesphotographer #losangeleszoo #pretty #sturdy #highelevation #animal #hoofstock https://www.instagram.com/p/B7R57panx2-/?igshid=1kkf0lc0jefyt
