Tahr in a Nepal National Park
TLDR
The Himalayan tahr Hemitragus jemlahicus occurs along the southern flanks of the Himalaya, from the Pir Panjal Range in northern India eastwards through Nepal to Sikkim, between 1500m and 5200m.Abstract:
The Himalayan tahr Hemitragus jemlahicus occurs along the southern flanks of the Himalaya, from the Pir Panjal Range in northern India eastwards through Nepal to Sikkim, between 1500m and 5200m. It is also reported as being ‘not uncommon’ at 1500–2100m in southwest Bhutan. It is the only one of the three surviving tahr species that is not endangered. In Nepal its formerly continuous distribution has been disrupted by traditional land-use practices, which are spreading due to the increasing human population, and some hunting. Schaller mapped 14 populations known to occur in Nepal, but many more undoubtedly exist.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a conservation index of elevational zones within Nepal to evaluate their representativeness in the protected area system and found that indices of elevation heterogeneity were strongly associated with species richness.

Human disturbance is a major determinant of wildlife distribution in Himalayan midhill landscapes of Nepal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data on spatial structure of three endangered mountain ungulates and found that the presence of these species is determined by the level of human disturbance and habitat requirements.

Observations on the Macroscopic Digestive Anatomy of the Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus)
TL;DR: The length of the large intestine was a more constant parameter over a range of body weights than that of the small intestine and the weight of the parotid glands scaled to metabolic body weight.
