Himalayan Tahr Resting on Cliff at Antwerp Zoo in Antwerp, Belgium

Resting on rocky cliff peak is the Himalayan tahr’s typical afternoon pastime. In the morning, this Asian wild goat climbs a mountain, typically above the snowline, while feeding. Before sunset, he feeds all the way back down. This tahr at the Antwerp Zoo is sporting his summer coat. In the winter, the wool becomes almost red, bushy and very thick. This wonderful zoo is managed by the Antwerp Royal Society for Zoology.
