Himalayan Thar also called mountain goat, it is a goat-like animal that lives on the wooded slopes of Everest. It has a small head with large eyes and small pointed ears and red circles on its cheeks. It has small horns on its heads. Its hooves are flexible and rubbery to grip smooth rocks, but have a hard, sharp rim around them so they can lodge into small footholds to stay stable on the steep rocks.
The tahr is a herbivore, it survives on the grass, trees and shrubs found on the lower slopes of Everest. It doesn’t eat meat but is hunted by other predators so must be very quick.
