MARKHOR (" snake-eater ")

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 735 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARKHOR (" snake-eater ") , the
Pushtu
  name of a large Himalayan wild goat (Capra falconeri), characterized by its spirally
twisted
  horns, and
long
  shaggy winter coat. From the Pir-Panjal range of Kashmir the markhor extends westwards into Baltistan,
Astor
 , Hunza, Afghanistan and the trans-Indus ranges of the Punjab. The twist of the horns varies to a
great
  extent locally, the
spiral
  being most open and corkscrew-like in the typical
Astor
  animal, and closest and most
screw
 -like in the race (C. falconeri jerdoni) inhabiting the Suleiman and adjacent ranges.
