Himalayan Tahr

The Himalayan tahr is a stocky mountain ungulate with short legs, a small head and specialized hooves whose hard rims and softer central pads provide traction on steep ground. Males are substantially heavier than females and develop a conspicuous mane. Its native range follows the southern Himalayan slopes from northern India east through Nepal and Bhutan, reaching north into Tibet. (Animal Diversity Web)

In the Himalayas it occupies rugged wooded hills and subalpine or alpine slopes, principally at 3,500–4,500m, although it may enter oak forest or climb into higher meadows. It feeds on alpine herbs and subalpine scrub vegetation. The Himalayan rut occurs from mid-October to mid-January; gestation lasts approximately six months and one young is usual, although twins occur. (Animal Diversity Web)
