The " Nilgiri Tahr "
The Nilgiri Tahr is a near relative of the Himalayan Tahr.Its short crisp coat,the rounded outer surface of its horns, and presence of only a single pair of teats are distinguishing characters. The general colour of the animal is a dark yellowish brown ,paler on the under surface . Does and young bucks are grey . with age the bucks get a very deep brown ,almost black coat with a distinctive light ' saddle patch 'on the lions. From a distance the saddle looks almost white . In build , bucks are far heavier and stockier than the does.
