These animals are herbivorous, feeding on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation found in their mountainous habitat. The West Caucasian tur plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by helping to maintain plant diversity. Conservation efforts are in place to protect this species, as it faces threats from habitat loss and hunting.
