_The Chiru inhabits the open plains of Thibet. They are gre- 
_ garious, rutting in winter, gestating six months, having one at a 
_ birth in summer. They are very pugnacious and jealous, and in 
_ their contests often break off one of their long horns, hence the 
_ rumour of Unicorns in Thibet.—Hodgson, J. c. 12; Journ. Asiat.
