TAHR. 



Typical locality Jeinla Hills, Nepal. 



Size large (shoulder-height 36 to 40 inches); build 

 somewhat heavy; face long, narrow, and straight. Horns, 

 which are nearly in contact at base, compressed, flattened on 

 each side, with the lateral surfaces transversely ridged, and 

 the front inner edge forming a sharp nodose keel. Head 

 short-haired, but hair of body long and shaggy, especially on 

 neck and fore-quarters, where it forms a heavy mane, 

 reaching to knees. General colour rich reddish or dark 

 brown, darkest in old males, in which the fore part of the 

 mane is often hoary or whitish ; face and front of legs dark 

 or blackish brown ; a dark more or less distinct dorsal stripe ; 

 hind surfaces of legs rusty red. Under side of tail bare ; 

 knees and chest with callous pads ; four teats. 



The distributional area includes the forest-districts of the 

 middle ranges of the Himalaya from the Pir Punjal to 

 Sikhim, but apparently does not embrace the Kaj-Nag, to 

 the west of the Jhelam, or the mountains on the northern 

 side of the Kashmir Valley.
