The endangered mountain climbing goat known as the serow is one of Japan’s national treasures. The scientific name of this animal is Capricornis crispus. Its common name, serow, is the name used for the Sumatra serow by the Lapchas people of the Himalayas. The Japanese serow can weigh as much as 200 pounds and stands three to four feet high at the shoulder. They are primarily grayish black in color, with long, thick coarse hair. The upper body of the serow is a mottled mixture of white, grey, and black hairs. Its legs are solid black or brown, and the underbelly is white. Like many goats, both male and female serows have small white beards under their chins and ridged, curved horns on top of their heads. These horns can grow up to six inches long. The serow tends to rest during the day, emerging to feed in the early morning and again towards evening. Serows are herbivores and grazers. They eat a variety of plant foods including grass, shoots, leaves, evergreen needles, and acorns. The Japanese serow prefers to live at high elevations, generally between 6000 and 10000 feet above sea level. They can only be found in the mountain forests of Honshu, Shikoko, and Kyushu. Japanese serows are somewhat slow, but comfortable and sure-footed on the rocky paths and trails that they frequent. In bad weather, they shelter in small caves or underneath cliff edges. Serows are generally solitary animals, although they are sometimes found in small family groups of up to seven members. In order to mark their territory, serows use secretions from their preorbital glands (located in front of their eyes). Males are territorial and let out angry alarm calls when interrupted from resting or eating. They use their horns to defend their ranges from other males in pitched battles. The Japanese serow was declared endangered in Japan in 1934. In the years that followed, the serow population increased under its new protected status. Recently, habitat degradation has begun to threaten the serow, and its numbers are declining once again. |
