It is hard to guess what a Long-tailed goral weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Long-tailed goral (Naemorhedus caudatus) on average weights 27 kg (59.52 lbs).
The Long-tailed goral is from the family Bovidae (genus: Naemorhedus). They can live for up to 13.17 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 1.04 meter (3′ 5″).

The long-tailed goral or Amur goral (Naemorhedus caudatus) is a species of ungulate of the family Bovidae found in the mountains of eastern and northern Asia, including Russia, China, and Korea. A population of this species exists in the Korean Demilitarized Zone, near the tracks of the Donghae Bukbu Line. The species is classified as endangered in South Korea, with an estimated population less than 250. It has been designated South Korean natural monument 217.
