A Himalayan tahr is a type of wild goat found climbing mountain
slopes, in mountain forests and alpine pastures around the Himalayas in
Tibet, India and Nepal
If you’re traveling through the Himalayan countryside some time soon
you’ll notice a wizened old goat sitting atop a mountain - that’s a Himalayan tahr.
While these creatures are similar to goats that can be found in
America, they have shorter legs, smaller heads, and they live at a
higher elevation in order to avoid predators.
This species of
tahr can weigh up to 200 pounds. They’re a relatively peaceful creature,
and they do most of their feeding and moving near dusk or sunrise in
order to stay out of the way of animals that might want to put tahr on
the menu. (Article from the historydaily.org web page)
I have one question. Who took the photo?
