Abstract

The first photographic evidence of Mainland Serow Capricornis sumatraensis thar in Ripu Reserve Forest (presently Raimona National Park) in the India-Bhutan Transboundary Manas Conservation Area (TraMCA) has been presented. Two independent events recorded on 29 December 2020 at 0912 h and 1346 h, at an elevation of 96 m, represent one of the lowest altitudinal records of the species.
