serow

The shy serow, which resembles a missing link between a goat and an antelope, is scampering through meadows, as is the dhole, a springy Asian wild dog.

The tapir hair came from Sumatra, cow hairs from several places in the US along with the porcupine quill, and a hair from a serow, a goat like creature, from Nepal.

The takin, serow, and goral are the Asiatic members of this sub-family, the Rupicaprinae, which is represented in America by the so-called Rocky Mountain goat and in Europe by the chamois.

They were in full cry after the serow.

It is said that the serow will sometimes beat off a pack of wild dogs, and I believe that serow and dogs have been found lying dead together.
