No worries my friend

Its always easier to say " sorry i miss identified the species " since you are not an expert.

You were very sure answering Mary "Mary..Its Arabian Tahr." just before one week ?

And stop arguing pleas, i don't have time to keep replying you .

Dear Ashish

Tahr exist in three places in the world, Wadi Wurayah, Jabal Hafeet in UAE and Oman.

UAE and Oman are located in the Arabian peninsula where the temperature is the highest around the world, now a days "summer time" temperature is more than 50c

And FYI, the only place in the world where they have a captive breeding for this species is, Arabian wild life center in Sharjah where they manage to get 11 Tahr in the past 6 years as i remember.

The goat in the photo up is the Barbary Sheep, the only wild wild goat species in Africa

And pleas Ashish, next time try to be sure before you identify a species, don't insist unless you are an expert because spreading wrong information around wont bring respect to you neither benefit to people.

Thanks
