| Video Discription | The East Caucasian Tur, also known as the Daghestan Tur, is a mountain-dwelling caprine found only in the eastern half of the Greater Caucasus mountains, in Azerbaijan, Georgia, and European Russia. The East Caucasian tur lives in rough mountainous terrain, where it eats mainly grasses and leaves, and is preyed upon by steppe wolves, lynxes, and possibly Syrian brown bears and Persian leopards. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the West Caucasian tur, and sometimes as a full species in its own right. The species is listed as near threatened by the I-U-C-N. East Caucasian turs are goat-like animals with large but narrow bodies and short legs, and show significant sexual dimorphism in overall size and horn development. Males have slightly lyre-shaped horns, while in females they are typically shorter. Breeding occurs from late November to early January, with births taking place in May and June, after a gestation period of 160 to 165 days. Young turs are extremely agile, being able to scamper about steep slopes after only a day of life. They generally start sampling grasses after one month, but continue to suckle until about December. During the warm months, feeding occurs at intervals throughout the late afternoon, night, and morning, with the hottest hours of the day being spent resting in sheltered places. In winter, herds may remain in open pastures throughout the day, alternately grazing and resting. They eat almost all kinds of available vegetation, but prefer forbs in spring and summer, and grasses, trees, and shrubs in autumn and winter. [mq-ee9eslzE] |
