West Caucasian Tur: The Rare and Resilient Mountain Goat
The West Caucasian tur, scientifically known as Capra caucasica, is a mountain-dwelling goat-antelope found in the Western Caucasus mountains of Russia and Georgia.
The West Caucasian tur inhabits the high-altitude regions of the Caucasus Mountains, typically found at elevations between 800 to 4,000 meters. They prefer rocky, precipitous terrains, which provide them with shelter and protection from predators.
