The Himalayan Goral (Naemorhaedus goral) is endemic to the Himalayan region embracing India, Nepal, Pakistan and China. It is a near-threatened and not much-researched species. It is a herbivore closely related to Serows. The experiments conducted at Delhi Zoo, India, revealed that gorals preferred a mixed vegetarian diet. Their breeding season in the zoo is throughout the year but generally between September and December. Gorals live 8–15 years in the wild and in captivity for 17 years. In captivity, male establishes dominance through aggressive behaviour and eventually in battle with competitive males. The courtship and mating include flank stork, flehmen, gamboling, territorial and maternal behaviour. Conservation plans for the goral include providing a naturalistic enclosure like ridges and cliffs on mountainous tracts and conservation of natural habitats in the Himalayan region.
