The red serow is a heavily built, reddish mountain bovid measuring approximately 140–155cm in head-and-body length and 85–95cm at the shoulder. Published weights range from 110 to 160kg. Both sexes carry short horns, and the reddish body, dark dorsal area and conspicuous mane help distinguish it from related serows. Firm modern records centre on northern Myanmar; reports from neighbouring regions may involve other serow taxa, making its inclusion as a Chinese species uncertain.
