Description

HIMALAYAN TAHR FULL-BODY MOUNT
Hemitragus jemalahicus
Native to the mountains of Nepal and New Zealand, the Himalayan Tahr demonstrates remarkable climbing ability and can leap and run down treacherous terrain at incredible speeds. The males and females both have horns and this is a large Bull with an incredible winter coat of hair. The handsome dark face and wonderfully thick and shaggy mane makes this one of the most beautiful of the high-mountain Big Game trophies. The present example displays excellent quality taxidermy and is mounted in a lifelike pose, skipping along a simulated rocky outcrop; it measures 62 inches long from the hoof to tip of nose and stands 80½ inches tall overall on a 29-inch wide wooden pedestal.
