Tahr (Himalayan Tahr)

The Himalayan tahr is a large, herbivorous mammal native to the steep, rocky slopes of the Himalayas, primarily found in Nepal, India, and Bhutan. It has a sturdy body, curved horns, and a thick coat that helps it adapt to cold mountainous environments. These animals are social, often found in groups, and primarily graze on grasses, leaves, and shrubs. The Himalayan tahr is an important part of its ecosystem and is considered a near-threatened species due to habitat loss, hunting, and other human activities. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their populations.
