Tahr is a large hairy Mountain Goat. A bit like the North American version, and lives in similar terrain. It' s brown in colour. The male has a huge mane like a lion.
They are one of the most sort after big game trophies in the world. Originally they come from Nepal in the Himalaya' s. (I' ve seen them on the way up to Mt Everest Base Camp.) but they are found in New Zealand, where we are allowed to hunt them.
Chamois are a smaller mountain Antelope, originally from Europe, the ones here came from Austria. They have very acute senses and are a challenge to hunt, as they too live in Rugged/Mountainous terrain.
