Siberian markhor
The Siberian markhor is a wild goat species found primarily in the mountainous regions of Central Asia, particularly in Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Known for its impressive twisted horns, which can grow up to 5 feet long, this animal is well-adapted to rugged terrains and steep cliffs.
Siberian markhors are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation. They are social animals, often seen in small groups, and are known for their agility and ability to navigate challenging landscapes. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their dwindling populations due to habitat loss and hunting.
