Step back in time to the reconstructed London Zoo in Regents Park, 1907, where the enigmatic Sumatran Serow (Capricornis sumatraensis) once roamed. This vulnerable Asian antelope, with its distinctive long, spiraled horns, is shown in a black and white photograph. The Serow, named after the Russian zoologist Alexander Nikolayevitch Syeroff (1820-1871), is also known to inhabit China, where it is represented in this intricate engraving of the Chinese Serow (Capricornis milneedwardsi argyrochaetes). The Sumatran Serow's close relatives, the Mainland or Southern Serow (Capricornis sumatrensis), can be found in Southeast Asia, while the Japanese Serow (Capricornis crispus) resides in the Japanese Alps on Honshu and Hokkaido. Let us not forget the North American cousin of the Serow, the Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus), which can be seen gracefully perched on a rocky slope in Denali National Park, Alaska. The Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) shares some physical similarities with the Serow, making it an interesting comparison in the world of caprine creatures.
