The '''serow''' ({{IPAc-en\|s\|ə\|ˈ\|r\|oʊ}}, or {{IPAc-en\|ˈ\|s\|ɛr\|oʊ}}) is any of four [[species]] of medium-sized [[goat]]-like or [[antelope]]-like mammals in the genus '''''Capricornis'''''.

	Serows live in central and ~~eastern~~ [[Asia]]. Their coloration varies by species, region, and individual. ~~Both sexes~~ have beards and small horns which are often shorter than their ears.		Serows live in south-central, southeast and [[eastern Asia]]. Their coloration varies by species, region, and individual. However, the different species are not particularly [[sexual dimorphism\|sexually dimorphic]], as both males and females have beards and small horns (which are often shorter than their ears).

	Like their smaller relatives the gorals, serows are often found grazing on rocky ~~hills~~, though typically at a lower elevation ~~when one~~ species ~~of each share~~ [[territory (animal)\|~~territory~~]]. Serows are slower and less agile than gorals, ~~but~~ they ~~nevertheless~~ can climb slopes to escape predation~~, and~~ to ~~take~~ shelter during cold winters or hot summers. Serows, unlike gorals, make use of their [[preorbital gland]]s in scent marking.		Like their smaller relatives, the gorals, serows are often found grazing on rocky and forested hillsides, though typically at a lower elevation in places where the two species' [[territory (animal)\|territories]] overlap; gorals tend to be wary and typically retreat to higher elevations and steeper mountainsides. Serows are slightly larger and slower-moving, and somewhat less agile, than gorals; however, they can still nimbly climb up or down the slopes to escape predation or to find appropriate shelter during cold winters or hot summers. Serows, unlike gorals, make use of their [[preorbital gland]]s in territorial scent marking.

	Fossils of serow-like animals date as far back as the late [[Pliocene]], two to seven million years ago. The common ancestor species of the [[Caprinae]] subfamily may have been very similar to modern serows. <!-- Rephrased to avoid saying that a species evolved from a contemporary species. -->		Fossils of serow-like animals date as far back as the late [[Pliocene]], two to seven million years ago.
