P. 70-74

In the Land of the Leopard National Park, we have recorded the presence of several long-tailed gorals using camera traps over the years. The photos we obtained indicate the existence of a grouping of these animals in southwest Primorskiy Territory. Specific research is needed in areas of potential habitat for this species. We give a brief historical description of the goral’s presence in the area.DOI: 10.15298/rusjtheriol.21.1.08
