Himalayan Tahr
The Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) is a wild goat native to the Himalayas in southern Tibet, northern India, western Bhutan and Nepal. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, as the population is declining due to hunting and habitat loss. The tahr's hooves have a flexible core and a harder outer ''shell'' with a sharp rim that allows it to grip smooth rocks and the sharp rim allows the tahr to lodge its foot into small footholds.
