Non-hazardous Endemic to Chinese mammals
China's specialty of the small chamois, also known as the yellow chamois, in Taiwan known as the mountain qiang, is the second smallest species of chamois, but also the northernmost distribution of the species Guan, they were artificially introduced to the United Kingdom and successfully rewilded locally. Most of the chamois we see in the zoo are small chamois.

: Endemic to China, distributed south of the Qinling Mountains.
: Male chamois have well-developed canine teeth, but the horns are short and grow on the horn handle that extends from the top of the head, unlike the more progressive deer, the horn grows directly from the top of the head. The differences between the chamois and other red chamois, such as the red chamois, include their small size, short legs, and triangular head. Perhaps to compensate for the disadvantage of small size, the horns of small chamois are counted long in the chamois, and the horn stem is usually longer than the horn handle. The appearance of the small chamois varies greatly from place to place: the small chamois in the southeast region has a beautiful face and a slender body, while the small chamois in the southwest region is stronger in size and more developed in the horns.
Because of their small size, the chamois cannot digest the hard grass and can only eat food such as leaves, fruits and mushrooms. They are alone in the middle and low altitude forests in search of food, and only in the autumn courtship will the males chase after the females and run around. In addition, due to chromosomal fusion, most chamois have only a dozen or even less than 6 chromosomes, but the chamois is the only known chamois that has not undergone chromosomal fusion, and has 46 chromosomes like humans, and the female and male also have the same number, so the chamois represents the most primitive type of chamois.
: The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is classified as non-hazardous (LC) and the Red List of Vertebrates of China is rated as vulnerable (VU)
