There are three species of serow in the genus Nemorhaedus . Where serows and their close relatives, gorals, share habitat, serows stay mainly in dense brush above timber line.
Gorals inhabit more precipitous and barren slopes.
Diet Ungulates cannot manipulate food with their forelimbs, so their lips, teeth and tongues are modified to take food directly from the plant or ground and grind vegetation like a mill. Serows, like all Bovidae, are specialized herbivores called ruminants. They eat herbs, leaves of trees or shrubs, shoots, twigs and grasses. Reproduction Mating takes place in fall or winter. The kid will reach full size and leave the mother's territory at 12 months and become sexually mature by 3 years.
