Chinese Goral. I've wanted a picture of a goral for some time now but this one was WAY to far away, obviously.
In 2011 whilst out looking for Giant Panda, a huge bird flew up from the frozen river just off from the road.
I'm guessing it was a Golden Eagle just by it's giant size. We looked at the area it flew up from and found an amazing kill.
It had killed a Goral and not a small one but a pretty good sized one! There were wing marks and blood all over the snow.
These markings in the snow tell the story of one hell of a kill and lunch for that giant raptor. Shot of that below.
Above was in Sichuan, China. Below in Changqing Nature Reserve, China
