"A century ago , a little-known, exotic animal, the Himalayan tahr, was introduced into N.Z. for big-game sporting purposes. From a few releases at Aoraki Mt Cook, tahr are now permanent inhabitants of the sub-alphine zones in the central Southern Alps. Their ecology, lifestyle and unique behaviour, both here and in their homelands, remained largely undocumented until now. The author was drawn to working with Himalayan tahr, as a hunter, scientist, helicopter pilot and recently as a documentary maker"--Inside front cover.
