[1] A population of this species exists in the Korean Demilitarized Zone, near the tracks of the Donghae Bukbu Line.
Their deaths were discovered to be caused by a range of issues, from taeniasis parasitic disease, nematodes, and pneumonia, to gastroenteritis and hepatitis.
[9] The long-tailed goral prefers high elevations with rocky, dry, steep, cliff-ridden mountains.
[10] They make their homes near sparsely vegetated cliffs with small crevices where they can hide from danger.
These areas are sometimes covered by evergreen and deciduous forests, and gorals are occasionally found feeding on exposed grassy ridges.
[5] Males in rut will travel long distances over rough terrain to find as many females to fertilize as possible.
Gorals are considered to be browsers because they eat a wide variety of grasses, woody material, and nuts and fruits.
Throughout the winter, they browse on woody twigs and leaves of trees and shrubs; they have been known to eat nuts, such as acorns, and a few fruits.
[15] In China, the long-tailed goral is a Class II species, meaning it is protected.
[15] The only conservation effort is bringing these animals into captivity within the zoo system, which should prevent it from going extinct.
