What is the maximal age a Chinese goral reaches?
An adult Chinese goral (Naemorhedus griseus) usually gets as old as 17.25 years.
When born, they weight 2 grams (0 lbs) and measure 2.6 cm (0′ 2″). They are a member of the Bovidae family (genus: Naemorhedus). Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 91.8 cm (3′ 1″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
The Chinese goral (Naemorhedus griseus), also known as the grey long-tailed goral, is a species of goral, a small goat-like ungulate, native to mountainous regions of Myanmar, China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, and possibly Laos. In some parts of its range, it is overhunted. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed it as a “vulnerable species”.
