	Himalayan Tahr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Himalayan Tahr is one of three species of tahr.
		Himalayan Tahrs range from 135 to 180 kg (300 to 400 lb) in weight, 120 to 170 cm in length, and 60 to 90 cm in height.
		Feral Himalayan Tahr are an introduced species in the South Island of New Zealand, with herds forming in the Southern Alps.

	Himalayan tahr - Hemitragus jemlahicus: More Information - ARKive
		The Himalayan tahr is a relative of the wild goat and is specially adapted to life on the rugged mountain slopes of the Himalayas, extending from the montane to alpine zones (3).
		As the common name of this species suggests, the Himalayan tahr is native to the southern range of the Himalayan Mountains, and is dispersed from northern India east to Bhutan (5).
		The Himalayan tahr is recognised as a vulnerable species by the IUCN Red List (1), warning of the possible extinction of this species in the near future.

	Tahr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tahr, genus Hemitragus, can be any of three species of mountain-dwelling Asian goat antelopes.
		Tahrs are in the family Bovidae with other even-toed, horned ungulates like cattle and antelope.
		The three species are Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus), Arabian Tahr (Hemitragus jayakari), and Nilgiri Tahr (Hemitragus hylocrius).

	Comparative Placentation
		Tahrs are said to weight between 50 and 100 kg.
		There is only a very sparse literature on Nilgiri and Arabian tahr; most reports concern the Himalayan tahr, such as Griner's report (1983) of the occurrence of cleft palate in a newborn.

		This species of tahr is listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Mammals; but due to the considerable protection afforded in the last few years, their number is slowly beginning to rise and according to the latest census, Eravikulam National Park has nearly 1,000 Tahrs.
		The Nilgiri tahr is a stocky goat in which both sexes have a short, coarse pelage and a bristly mane a few centimeters long, in contrast to the male Himalayan tahr which has a long, shaggy mane on the shoulders, throat and chest.
		The front of the horn of the Nilgiri tahr is almost flat with the keel confined to the inner edge, whereas the horn of the Himalayan tahr has a prominent keel in front.

		In fact, the first member of this genus to be recognized scientifically was the Himalayan tahr, and it was giver the name Capra Jemlahica in 1827 by H. Smith (Lydekker, 1913)thus including it in the same genus as the goats (including ibex (C. ibex and markhor (C. falconeri)).
		Gervais was apparently the first to recognize the affinities between Himalayan and Nilgiri tahr, as he adopted the then current name for Nilgiri tahr in naming the Himalayan tahr Kemas jemlaicus (Lydekker, 1913).
		Thus, the current view is that there are three species of tahr, the Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jenlahicus), the Nilgiri tahr (H. hylocrius), and the Arabian tahr (H. Jayakari; Corbett, 1978; Honaki et al., 1982; Novak and Paradise, 1983).

		To enable effective management of the park, and to ensure that the indigenous biodiversity remains intact and retains its integrity, invasive alien plants and animal species must be removed from the park, as they pose a distinct threat to the natural functioning of the ecosystems.
		The Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) did not originally occur on Table Mountain and originated from the Himalayan mountain range and, while they are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN, they are neither endangered nor critically endangered.
		In the case of the Himalayan Tahr, the extreme climate of their natural habitat serves as population control within the Himalayas, whereas on Table Mountain they grow fat and plentiful in the relatively mild Cape Town climate.

		At stake are the lives of about 100 Himalayan tahrs – an exotic species of mountain goat that has lived on the mountain for about 70 years – and the right of the public to be informed and consulted on conservation management practices.
		Mercer maintains that killing the tahrs is unlawful in that the authorities have acted beyond their powers in making such a decision on their own discretion, and in deciding matters of animal welfare without first ascertaining the wishes of the animal welfare community, which is an "affected community".
		According to The Friends of the Tahr, the minutes of a meeting held by SANParks at Newlands forest on November 17 1999 confirm that the decision to kill the tahrs was made and implemented without any consultation or disclosure to the public.

		Myrdal said all approximately 100 tahr would eventually be shot as part of a "slow and planned" programme to create conditions for reintroducing animals such as the klipspringer and grey rhebuck, which have become locally extinct on the mountain.
		Myrdal said mature klipspringers weighed between eight and 12 kilograms and were either solitary or occurred in pairs, while tahrs weighed between 50 and 100 kilograms and were herd animals by nature, resulting in far greater erosion impacts.
		The klipspringer was a selective browser while the tahr was a "generalist" feeder, known to climb trees to browse and to root up corms and bulbs with its horns.
