The Caucasian tur is a large wild goat species native to the mountainous regions of the Caucasus. It is characterized by its robust build, long curved horns, and a thick coat that varies in color from brown to gray. These animals are well-adapted to steep, rocky terrains, where they graze on grasses and shrubs. Caucasian turs are social animals, often found in herds, and they play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to maintain vegetation balance. They are classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting pressures, making conservation efforts important for their survival.
