Asian Himalayan Tahr

Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) Search Our Hunting Trips for: Current SCI all time record: Score 47 4/8 - Nepal, Himalaya Mountains - 11/83 Description: The dense, wooly winter coat is reddish to dark brown and has a thick undercoat. With their winter coat, males also grow a long, shaggy mane around the neck and shoulders which extends down the front legs. After the spring molt, the coat is much shorter and lighter in colour. The legs are relatively short, and the head is proportionally small. The eyes are large, and the ears are small and pointed. The horns are triangular in cross-section and are found in both sexes. They curve upward, backwards, and then inwards, to a maximum length of 45 cm / 18 inches, and are usually larger in males. Other Common Names: Size: Range: Hunted in Nepal; primarily winter and spring. Natural History: Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, Himalayan tahrs spend the middle of the day resting among rocks and vegetation. Very shy and wary, they are difficult to approach, especially from downhill. When startled, they flee with confidence, speeding sure-footedly across the uneven terrain of their habitat. The Himalayan tahr may migrate down the mountain during the winter, resting in denser cover at lower altitudes as protection from the elements. When competing for breeding privileges, males lock horns and attempt to throw each other off balance, although compared to other ungulates this is done in a somewhat half-hearted manner. With the introduced groups in New Zealand, the population density varies from 4.5-6.8 animals per square kilometer. Hunting Characteristics:
