Nilgiri tahr facing tourists

Nilgiri tahr creatures are very similar to normal sheep and biologically close to each other. Males can grow up to 100-110 cm in height and females up to 60-80 cm in height and can weigh up to 100 kg. Both males and females have curved horns on their backs. The horns of ewes are relatively short. The sanctuaries of the Varayats are hilly areas covered with grasslands. They have a special fondness for rocky areas in such places. The ridges can take advantage of small holes in the rocks to navigate through them. Stripes are often used by rocks to escape from predators.
