1-Nemorrhodens (Yong-he)
Solitary individuals were found living in the space foot attitude.
live on limestone cliffs only. They
apparently never leave the forest.
We hunted them with dogs and then
only when thus pursued. They elude
the dogs by I running up and down
steep cliffs at times around
open grassy slopes. Sometimes they
look refuge in caves or along of
clips & fight the dogs, in one instance killing a dog when
held at bay. No note of alarm
or other evidence of enmity was
observed to emanate from them.
They were found from 12,000 feet to
an altitude of 14,000 feet.

from 12,000 - 13,000 feet elevation.
