In Real Life
The Himalayan tahr is a large even-toed ungulate native to the Himalayas in southern Tibet, northern Pakistan, northern India and Nepal, and has additionally been introduced to Argentina, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. The Himalayan tahr has a small head, small pointed ears, large eyes, and horns that vary between males and females; these can reach a maximum length of 46 centimetres (18 in). Their thick, reddish wool coats and undercoats are suited to the harsh temperatures of the Himalayas.
The herbivorous diets of the Himalayan tahrs leave them spending most of their time grazing on grasses and browsing on leaves and some fruits. Their short legs allow them to balance while reaching for the leaves of shrubs and small trees. The tahr consumes more woody plants than herb species with as much as 75% of the tahr diet consisting of natural grasses. The tahr, like most members of the bovid family such as cows, are ruminants; that is, they possess complex digestive systems designed to acquire nutrients from otherwise indigestible plant matter.
