Dahu

China

The dahu is a legendary creature described as resembling a mountain goat. It is primarily known within France and various francophone regions of Switzerland and Italy, specifically including the Aosta Valley.

As a quadrupedal mammal, the dahu may have been inspired by the chamois, a small, horned goat-antelope that was once common in European mountainous areas. It is also noted for its physical resemblance to the ibex.
