The Chinese serow is a mammal from the Bovidae family. It lives in mountainous regions of southwestern China and is distinguished by its sturdy build and short horns.
The Chinese serow differs from other serows in its dark fur and horn shape. It is important for nature because it eats plants and serves as prey for large predators in mountain forests.
