My 40th birthday was celebrated in the Himalayas, where I took valuable pictures of the red goral, one of the world's most endangered animals. |

Pam Groves of the University of Alaska-Fairbanks has shown that the closest relative is actually the goral. |

Along the way you may even sight the Himalayan red panda, musk deer, leopards, black bear, goral and tahr in the national park. |
|
Habitat loss, as well as poaching for meat and medicinal use, are the major threats to goral survival. |
|
The rare markhor and goral, for example, are exhibited on cliff faces similar to those of their native mountains. |
|
Animal life includes tigers, clouded and snow leopards, elephants, wild buffalo, serow and goral goats, many species of deer, and primates such as hoolock gibbons, slow lorises, macaques, and capped langurs. |

Large herbivores are represented by elephants, wild boar, forest musk deer, Indian Muntjack, hog deer, Sambar, Gaur, Common Goral, mainland serow, Takin, and Bharal. |
