Hi everybody,

here is a picture of a creature you won't be able to see often in zoos
and animal parks. The Himalayan tahr pictured here, a member of the goat
family (if I am not mistaken), is an excellent climber. In Hagenbeck
Zoo, this is illustraded by the fact that their enclosure is almost as
high as it is wide :-) it mainly consists of a large concrete rock
(quite close to natural) which you constantly see these shaggy beauties
run up and down. If there is one of the rare quiet moments, this (and
some to follow, prospectively) is what you're gonna get.

Stay tuned for more,

so long -

Ralf
