A small goat-like animal found in the mountainous regions of Asia, related to antelopes and chamois.
From Hindi 'gharāl' or 'gorāl,' a word for this animal native to the Himalayan region. The word entered English through naturalists and explorers describing Asian fauna.
Gorals are classified right between goats and antelopes, embodying an evolutionary puzzle—they're so specialized for steep Himalayan terrain that they're a 'living fossil,' barely changed in millions of years because their mountain habitat barely changed either!
