(females). The Red Goralis one of the smallest goral species. As the name implies,its overall body color, includingits legs,is reddish-brown to a rather bright fox-like red (although the type specimen was described by R. I. Pocock in 1914 as uniform dark brown). The pelage is long,soft, and rather shaggy, with each hair pale brown at the base and tipped with red. The head is a slightly more tawny color than the rest of the body; long blackbased hairs occur on the forehead, which is particularly dark between the horns. In young individuals, a small white spot often occurs between the horns, fading with age. Margins of the upper and lower lips are white. Ears of the Red Goral are smaller than in other goral species, whitish on the inside and fawn on the backside. The back and sides are typically darker in color than the pale-buff undersides. The chest and throat are often a rich chestnut and some individuals have a black patch on their chest that may extend as a dark stripe onto the belly. A black mid-dorsal stripe runs from the top of the head to the tip of the tufted tail, which is shorter and longer-haired than in other goral species. The scrotum is white. Horns of both sexes are black and curve backward to a greater degree than those of the Himalayan Brown Goral. Diploid chromosome number is 55.

|
||
The Red Goral occurs at elevations of 2000-4500 m, generally higher than other goral species. Preferred habitats are steep, rocky coniferous woodland, scrub, and meadows, where rainfall is abundant, particularly in May-August.

Although detailed studies are lacking, lichens, particularly species of Usnea, are a main food source of the Red Goral. Grasses, herbaceous plants, and browse also are eaten. In captivity, they will drink daily.

|
||
The Red Goral typically mates in December, but mating may be earlier and extended in some locations (September-December). Captive females are sexually mature at 1-5 years, and the estrous cycle is 17-23 days. Estrus lasts 6-72 hours, and males repeteadly copulate with females (10-20 times). During rut, males are said to hold territories of 22-25 ha and vocalize with a “ze-ze-ze” call to attract females. Females also use a loud whistling call when a male approaches, audible to humans up to

. A mature male follows a female closely, frequently checking her genital area and displaying lip curls. If a female is not ready to breed, she will flee or head-butt the male. When she is ready to breed, she will stand still with hertail raised. A single offspring is typical, and most are born in June-July after a gestation of 180 days. In captivity, weaning occurs at 3-5 months, and longevity is about 15 years.

|

In summer, Red Gorals move up in elevation, often above timberline to alpine meadows and thickets. From November through March, they move down slope to avoid snow, returning to higher elevations in April. Home ranges of the Red Goral are small, about 40 ha. Mature males are primarily solitary. Females live in small groups of 2-3 composed of her offspring of the current year and a male, orjust her offspring from the current and/or the previous year.

, the estimate in the 1980s was 810 individuals. Illegal hunting is the threat, but increasing human populations and habitat loss from the conversion of forested habitats to agriculture in formerly undisturbed areas are other causes of concern. Enforcement of existing game lawsis essential.
