Himalayan Tahr standing on a rocky slope amid plastic pollution in Uttarakhand

A Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus), a large wild goat-like mammal native to the Himalayan mountain ranges of Uttarakhand, Nepal, and Tibet. The animal is standing on steep rocky terrain, showcasing the species’ remarkable adaptation to rugged mountain landscapes. Himalayan Tahrs possess specialized hooves with flexible rubber-like cores that help them maintain grip on cliffs and uneven surfaces. The footage also highlights a growing environmental concern in Himalayan ecosystems — plastic pollution. A discarded white plastic bag is visible among the rocks near the animal, illustrating the impact of tourism and human waste reaching fragile wildlife habitats. Such pollution threatens mountain biodiversity by contaminating natural foraging areas and degrading pristine alpine environments. #HimalayanTahr #PlasticPollution #Uttarakhand #HimalayanWildlife #MountainEcosystem #WildlifeConservation #NatureDocumentary #IndianHimalayas #EnvironmentalAwareness #WildlifeIndia Himalayan Tahr, Hemitragus jemlahicus, Uttarakhand wildlife, Himalayan mountain animal, plastic pollution in mountains, wildlife conservation India, Himalayan ecosystem, mountain ungulate, environmental documentary, Indian Himalayan wildlife This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia.
