I met this markhor at the L.A. Zoo where he was repeatedly ramming his horned head against a wrapped tree trunk. In lieu of ramming heads with another markhor, I suppose. The markhor is the largest of the wild goats and is the national animal of Pakistan. It is indigenous to the mountains of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. It is endangered because of the trophy hunters who travel to kill it and collect its spectacular “rack.”
