	Japanese Serow
		The typical heights for the male and female serow greater than 3.5 years of age are 73 and 74 centimeters respectively, to the shoulder of the serow.
		For decades the Japanese serow was on the verge of extinction.
		However, there are still several hopeful admirers of the serow who study the animal's behaviors, searching for a way for the nation's natural monument and the population of the nation to live in harmony (Kaufman, 1992).

	Japanese Serow
		Serows are stocky goats with thick, woolly fur, in varying mixtures of brown, fl, grey and white, with brown or fl legs.
		Serows are susceptible to heat and come out to feed early in the morning and late in the afternoon, but rest during the hottest part of the day in a cave or cool, rocky overhang.
		Japanese serows were declared Endangered in 1934, but efforts were taken to save them from extinction and their numbers are now to the point where they are classified as a “Lower Risk” by the IUCN, but “Conservation Dependent,” meaning their habitat is diminishing due to forestry plantations.

	The 21st Century COE Program Evaluation of Environmental Condition based on Ecology and Pathology of Wild Animals
		1) Parasitic faunas of a Japanese serow, Capricornis crispus and deer, Cervus nippon centralis: serow and deer dead in Iwate Prefecture and neighbor prefectures are examined for ectoparasites in the surface, nematodes in the subcutaneous tissue, sarcocysts in the muscle tissue, and helminths in the visceral organs.
		Abstract: Because the Japanese serow (Capricornis crispus) has been designated as a "Special Protected Animal" and is a very rare species in the field of systematic zoology, aggressive steps have been taken to protect this animal.
		To estimate the genetic background of Japanese wild boars, we examine haplotypes of mitochondrial DNA and genotypes of the nuclear glucosephosphate isomerase-processed pseudogene, because distribution of HEV in Japanese wild boars is locally limited.

	Comparative Placentation
		Gorals are related to serows and other rupicaprines, but are relatively rarely exhibited in Western zoos.
		The chromosomal evolution of these animals suggests that speciation of the Rupicaprini took place from the Alpine chamois to the American Rocky Mountain goat, with numerous species such as goral and serow in between (see also Dolan, 1963).
		In contrast, the Japanese serow has a diploid number of 2n=50, with 10 metacentrics, presumably derived by Robertsonian fusion (Benirschke et al., 1972), and the Sumatran serow with 2n=46 (Fischer and Hohn, 1972).
