Markhor Documentary I Wildlife Documentary

Markhor is an incredible wild goat with male horns measuring almost 5 feet and weighing more than 100 kilos. The kids are born in the steepest of terrains where they survive their initial days escaping formidable predators such as wolves, lynx, and golden eagles.
In the rut season, the males engage in deadly battles where they fight for dominance to earn the respect of female markhors.
Chitral Gol National Park is one of the very few places on earth where close to 3000 markhors thrive. Making it one of the few stable populations in the world. A remarkable comeback from a few hundred.
But presumably with rising temperatures, the snow leopard, the apex predator has disappeared from the region and the lynx population has increased, disturbing the natural balance. The smaller predator is more efficient at killing the kids of markhor, putting a dent in the fresh gene pool.
