The Japanese serow is a diminutive goat-antelope that is native to Japan. They can be found on the islands of Shikoku, northern and central Honshu and Kyushu. These critters are known as an even-toed ungulate (bear weight equally on 2 of their 5 toes). Even though they suffer at the hands of hunting, trapping, have to deal with human interference, and combat disease and invasive species, these goat-antelopes are still listed as Least Concern by the IUCN and their populations are stable; thanks largely to being protected in most of their ranges. |
