Thread: Stags Bucks Thars Chamois Boar 2019

It’s how Tahr is spelt in some areas of the Himalayas also how it used to be spelt in NZ when it was first introduced.
The word "tahr" is derived from the Nepali word thār and was first used in English writings in 1835.
The common name of H. jemlahicus varies considerably, including Tehr, Tahir, Jharal, Jehr, Jula Kras and Thar or Tahr. Although Riney (1955) and Anderson and Henderson (1961) use the name ‘Thar’ most authors refer to it as the Himalayan Tahr or just Tahr (Lydekker, 1913; Wodzicki, 1950; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Bourliére, 1955).
