The markhor: the spiral-horned king of the mountains 🐐✨ With its twisted horns reaching over 5 feet long, the markhor is built for the steep cliffs of Central and South Asia. Agile, powerful, and rare, it’s a true symbol of wilderness survival. Once endangered, conservation efforts have helped its numbers climb — proof that protecting wildlife works. #Markhor #WildlifeReels #AnimalFacts #MountainGoat #NatureWow | Discvr Blog

The markhor is the world’s largest wild goat. This majestic animal is now fighting for space in the Indian Himalayas. A recent study shows that growing livestock numbers push the Kashmir markhor out of their summer habitats, making it harder for them to feed, raise young, and survive. However, in parts of Kashmir, conservation efforts are helping the markhor slowly bounce back.
