Meet The Gorani, a wondrous furry fuzzy animal that is extremely rare worldwide but very easy to spot in Korea.
Especially if you go near the mountains at night, you can easily hear their cries—even ordinary people visiting the countryside encounter them often. Despite their cute and unique appearance, these terrifying screams infuriate many soldiers on night duty.
The reason Gorani have become so abundant in Korea is the lack of natural predators. Since dangerous wild animals like tigers mostly disappeared after the Japanese colonial period and the Korean War, their only major “predator” left is the cars on the road.
Consequently, while they are an endangered species globally, their population continues to grow in Korea, becoming quite a nuisance.
This is because they severely damage crops, with the estimated damage reaching nearly $1.8 million. As a result, the government has stepped in to manage and control their population.
