Japanese Serow
Capricornis crispus
The adult Japanese serow is a solitary goat-antelope of Japan’s forested mountains, moving sure-footedly across steep slopes and rocky ravines. It browses leaves, shoots, acorns, and grasses, and marks its territory with scent glands. Both males and females carry short backward-curving horns, and its dense coat and rugged hooves suit cold, rugged upland habitat.
