বিতৰণ

The mainland serow is found in central and southern চীন, ভিয়েটনাম, কম্বোডিয়া, Laos, ম্যানমাৰ, and থাইলেণ্ড. Its distribution follows forested mountain ranges.

বাসস্থান

The mainland serow inhabits steep, rugged hills up to an elevation of 4,500 m asl. It prefers rocky terrain but is also found in forests and flat areas. It is able to swim to small offshore islands. This species has a moderate level of tolerance to human disturbance, and could persist well in habitat fragments and secondary forests, though farmlands are avoided.

আচৰণ

The mainland serow is territorial and lives alone or in small groups. It usually stays in a small area of only a few square miles where it grazes on grass, shoots and leaves from along beaten paths. It marks its territory with droppings and markings. It is most active at dawn and dusk, and spends the rest of the day in thick vegetation. The mainland serow gives birth to a single young usually in September or October. The gestation period is about eight months.
