	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.

	The Nilgiri Tahr Trust, Kerala, India
		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.

	[No title]
		Dependent upon free water, a need for a diverse flora upon which to feed and caves in which to shelter from the extremes of climate, the tahr is not a truly desert adapted species.
		Tahr are therefore in competition with domestic livestock, and in many areas of otherwise ideal habitat, the tahr are no longer found due to the presence of large numbers of goats and donkeys.
		Because tahrs are rarely seen, the scrapes are often used to determine the presence or absence of tahr in an area.

	cooltech.iafrica.com \| coolscience Tahr shooting resumes
		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.
		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.
		It was also believed that the presence of tahr on the mountain was responsible for the diminishing numbers of rock dassie and for endangering the red-data listed Cape spiny mouse.

	Tahr
		The apprentice to the veteran Green Lantern Wylxa, the young man named Tahr had been a constant source of disappointment to his master.
		Following the death of Wylxa during the Crisis, Tahr was to be reviewed as a Green Lantern by G'kd of F'yp.
		While this might have been possible, (despite the fact Earth is in Sector 2814, the designation of a sector is fixed on Oa as the center, but the celestial objects themselves are not fixed) it is disproven by the mention of Wylxa and Tahr in the (then) present of GL2 # 199.

	UAE INTERACT ONLINE : NATURAL EMIRATES : MAMMALS : - Arabian Tahr
		After a last carcass of a tahr was found near a water pool on this mountain in 1982 and no further evidence of this secretive animal came to light from either Jebel Hafit or any of the other mountains, it was generally thought that the tahr was extinct outside the Sultanate of Oman.
		Tahr have long reddish-brown hair, with a dark stripe down their back and short, goat-like, stubby horns.
		No doubt the Arabian leopard was the tahr's natural enemy, but today it is the destruction of their natural habitat by feral goats, as well as poaching, that keep their numbers dangerously low.
