NILGIRI TAHR
<p><em>Nilgiritragus hylocrius </em></p>
<p>Endemic to the southern reaches of the Western and Eastern Ghats, this ungulate is celebrated as the state animal of Tamil Nadu. While navigating<br />
winding hairpin bends leading up to Valparai town in the Anamalai hills, tahr are often forced to confront death as they cross from one fragmented<br />
forest patch to the other.</p>
