Description
Markhors stand 65 to 115 centimeters (26 to 45 in) at the shoulder, are 132 to 186 centimeters (52 to 73 in) long and weigh from 32 to 110 kilograms (71 to 243 lb) They have the highest maximum shoulder height among the species in the genus Capra but is surpassed in length and weight by the Siberian ibex. The coat is of a grizzled, light brown to black color, and is smooth and short in summer, while growing longer and thicker in winter. The fur of the lower legs is black and white. Markhors are sexually dimorphic, with males having longer hair on the chin, throat, chest and shanks. Females are redder in color, with shorter hair, a short black beard, and are mane less. Both sexes have tightly curled, corkscrew-like horns, which close together at the head, but spread upwards toward the tips. The horns of males can grow up to 160 cm (63 in) long, and up to 25 cm (10 in) in females. The males have a pungent smell, which surpasses that of the domestic goat (Wikipedia).
Complete 2019 after 29.37 hours spread over 23 days.
