Himalayan tahr
hemitragus jemlahicus latin

The oldest lived Himalayan tahr was 22 years old in captivity.

Himalayan Tahr have precocious young which can stand soon after birth.

Himalayan tahr can eat a wide variety of plants, discussed above in the Diet section.

Efforts in each of these regions are being made to control the Himalayan tahr population and to reduce its impact on the native ecosystem.

A key factor contributing to the success of the Himalayan tahr as an invasive species is their mobility.

Introduced Red deer, chamois and Himalayan tahr can be hunted.

Births in 2009 also include first breedings at the park for European elk and Himalayan tahr.

Its nearest relative is the Himalayan tahr.

Animals like musk deer, snow leopard and Himalayan Tahr all make their home in this park.

The rare Himalayan tahr - a distant relative of the mountain goat - has also adapted to life in harsh mountainous conditions.

Since the Himalayan tahr and the other ungulates are eating the same foods, it is possible that competition is occurring among them.

The region is home to 33 species of mammals including snow leopard, musk deer and Himalayan tahr .

These include the Asiatic black bear, leopard, the Himalayan tahr, and the threatened serow.

They are blackbuck, mouflon, Himalayan tahr and takin.

The sanctuary plays host to a small populations of Musk deer, Himalayan tahr, and pheasants.

The Himalayan tahr have small heads, small pointed ears, large eyes, and horns that vary between males and females.

As members of the ungulate group of mammals, the Himalayan tahr possess an even number of toes.

The average lifespan of a Himalayan Tahr typically ranges between 14 and 15 years of age, with females living longer than males.

The herbivorous diet of the Himalayan tahr leave them spending most of their time browsing grasses, leaves, and some fruits.

The Himalayan tahr is adapted to life in a cool climate with rocky terrain, which allows them to be found in mountainous areas.

Another key characteristic that allows Himalayan tahr to be successful as an invasive species is their digestive tract (see Diet above).

Close relatives to the Himalayan Tahr also associated to the Caprinae subfamily include sheep and goats.

Himalayan Tahr (only herd in UK)

Himalayan Tahr, also known as "tahr", is a species related to the goat that was introduced into New Zealand in the 19th century.

For example, it was observed that endangered camelids were forced to adapt and move to higher elevations due to the increased herbivory from the Himalayan tahr.

While working for the New Zealand Forest Service, Graeme used his research on the Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) towards his doctoral work.

The Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus), or the common tahr, is a large ungulate related to the wild goat and the only extant member of the genus Hemitragus.

Until 2005, it was placed with the Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) and the Arabian tahr (Arabitragus jayakari) in the genus Hemitragus.
