Hemitragus jemlahicus

Hemitragus jemlahicus, commonly known as the Himalayan tahr, is a large goat-like mammal native to the rugged mountainous regions of the Himalayas, particularly found in Nepal, India, and Bhutan. Characterized by its dense, curly fur and impressive curved horns, the tahr is well-adapted to steep, rocky terrain. These animals are herbivorous, primarily grazing on grass and shrubs. They live in social groups, usually consisting of females and their young, while males tend to be solitary. Conservation efforts are crucial for their survival due to habitat loss and hunting pressures.
