Arabian Tahr

The Arabian tahr is a goat-like mammal native to the mountainous regions of the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in Oman and the United Arab Emirates. It has a robust body, short legs, and a distinctive, curly coat that varies in color from reddish-brown to gray. Arabian tahrs are herbivores, primarily grazing on grasses and shrubs. They are well adapted to steep, rocky terrains, using their agility to navigate their rugged environment. Classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting, conservation efforts are underway to protect this unique species and its natural habitat.
