As An Alien Species
Feral Himalayan tahr are an introduced species in the South Island of New Zealand, with herds forming in the Southern Alps. In large numbers tahr are regarded as a pest because their browsing has an impact on native vegetation. Tahr hunting is a recreational sport and commercial activity. Tahr have also been introduced to New Mexico, California, and Ontario for hunting in safari parks.
