Nilgiri Tahr at Kottanmutty Hills, Kanjikode Forest, Walayar Forest Division in the State of Kerala, India. This is actually a very rare sighting as I had only heard in the past that these locations also have these animal from the stories and folklore from the local villagers and my aged parents, Also that later they disappeared from the Region. It was somehow really very exciting to be able to spot this animal on February this year 2020
