The Himalayan serow (Capricornis sumatraensis thar), also known as the tharШаблон:Efn (Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell, Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell),[1][2] is a subspecies of the mainland serow[3] native to the Himalayas.[4] It was previously considered its own species, as Capricornis thar. It is the official state animal of the Indian state of Mizoram.

Taxonomy

In 1831, Brian Houghton Hodgson first described a goat-like animal with short annulated horns occurring in montane regions between the Sutlej and Teesta Rivers under the name "Bubaline Antelope".[5] As "Bubaline" was preoccupied, he gave it the scientific name Antelope thar a few months later.[6] When William Ogilby described the genus Capricornis in 1838, he determined the Himalayan serow as type species of this genus.[7]

The Himalayan serow is mostly blackish, with flanks, hindquarters, and upper legs that are a rusty red; its lower legs are whitish.Шаблон:Cn
