What animals in Thailand live in the mountains


What animals in Thailand live in the mountains?
I'm doing an article about pollution in Thailand, and I wanted to do a bit about how pollution drifting up from Bangkok threatens animals that live in higher elevations. Can anyone give me one or two animals that live in the mountains of Thailand so I can reference them for my article? Thanks.
