Staff stumbled upon an animal with a reputation for evoking mythical creatures in Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary and shared a photo and a video of it on social media. The rare animal, which the Thailand sanctuary called a “pegasus,” appears to be a Chinese goral (Naemorhedus griseus), also called the gray long-tailed goral.

Chinese gorals are native to parts of southeastern Asia—including parts of India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and possibly Laos. This mountainous species prefers to live in “rugged, inaccessible areas,” including steep slopes. So, imagine Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary staff’s surprise when they came across one of these animals in the flesh.
