West Caucasian tur (Capra caucasica)

The Zaqatala Nature Reserve is home to brown bears, boars and West Caucasian Tur.

The West Caucasian tur appears to be more closely related to the wild goat than to the East Caucasian tur.

The West Caucasian tur (Capra caucasica) is a water-dwelling goat-antelope found only in the western half of the Caucasus mountain range.

Their principal prey is the most abundant ungulate such as Bezoar goat, roe deer, Goitered gazelle, West Caucasian tur, mouflons, urial, and wild boar.

The western edge of the range of the East Caucasian tur remains unclear as it overlaps with that of West Caucasian tur (Capra caucasica).
