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.
