Arabian tahr  (Hemitragus jayakari)

Endemic to the Hajar Mountains of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Sultanate of Oman (6).

The Arabian tahr is found amongst often steep, precipitous slopes of rocky, barren mountains up to altitudes of 1,800 m above sea level, although frequently descends to lower altitudes to drink from river courses called ‘wadis'. These tahr are extremely agile and capable of climbing near vertical cliff faces (3).
