T is for Tahr

This week's entry for Ben Towle's Animal Alphabet.
Ball-point, marker & white gel-pen on brown paper, fooled with in Photoshop.


(Pssst! By the way, if you're looking for the missing "S" you'll find it on my Oddments blog.)

This turned out great. I love the dainty little legs sticking out under all that silky fur.

I'm glad somebody did a tahr. I had a hard time deciding between drawing a tahr or a takin.

I had never heard of either a tahr or a takin before today! Apparently I need to brush up on my Himalayan hooved animals.

Get this (form Wikipedia): "the Himalayan Tahr remains relatively widespread in the Himalayas, and has been introduced to the Southern Alps of New Zealand, where it is considered a pest animal and is hunted recreationally."

I learn something new every day. (And more than one thing on Mondays!)
