Goral

The gorals are four species in the genus Nemorhaedus or Naemorhedus. They are small ungulates with a goat-like or antelope-like appearance.

The original name is based on Latin nemor-haedus from nemus, nemoris 'grove' and haedus 'little goat' but was misspelt Naemorhedus by Hamilton Smith (1827).

Until recently, this genus also contained the serow species (now in genus Capricornis).
