Nilgiri Tahr

Sure-footed on rugged hill Likes life on mountain range Rolling grassland fits the bill Short horns reveal their age Ovines in endangered stage Males change from Brown, grey to black Deft climbers blend with rock Bristly manes, white saddleback Female has agile walk Dusky females never baulk Feeds on various grass, leaves Spots danger to snort, run Predators - tigers, dholes, wolves Humans poach, shoot for fun Human deeds have their life done

An interesting read, two new animals I’ve learnt today. The Tahr and the dhole. I had to google. A well written verse Thrivini. Congratulations. Cheers

Nice to learn about this interesting creature, I just read they were down to 100 (that leaves a pretty small gene pool) but are hopefully making a comeback.
