American goral

The American goral (Naemorhedus americanus), also known as the cave goat and the American cave goat (to distinguish it from the American mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus)), is a species of caprid that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the mountains across North America, including the Rocky Mountains, to help boost biodiversity. It is a small ungulate with a goat-like or antelope-like appearance, like its relatives from Asia. American gorals are often found on rocky hillsides at high elevations. Though their territories often coincide with those of the closely related serow, the American goral will usually be found on higher, steeper slopes with less vegetation. American gorals typically weigh about 40 kilograms (88 lb) and are 130 centimetres (51 inches) in length, with short, backward-facing horns. Depending on an individual, the color generally ranges from light gray to dark red-brown, with lighter patches on the chest, throat, and underside, and a dark stripe down the spine. They have woolly undercoats covered by longer, coarser hair, which helps to protect them in the cold areas where they are often found. Though the groups share many similarities, American gorals are stockier than antelopes and pronghorns, and American gorals have broader, heavier hooves. Female American gorals have four functional teats, while female goats and sheep have only two functional teats. Unlike serows, American gorals have no working preorbital glands. The conservation status of the American goral is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the American goral's wide range.
