The last bharal and Japanese serow left the collection in 2014. Crop damage caused by bharal has also been seen. DNA sequencing recently revealed various sheep are close relatives (goats, tahrs, sheep, bharal, Barbary sheep). There are many surrounding villages, including Dehri, Padhar, Bharal, Sakri, Chattar, Khukhnara and Bharmar. The rutting of the bharal starts towards late November and continues until mid-January. Other ungulate herbivores with overlapping natural ranges include bharal, argali, and goral. The tahr is common, the serow, goral, musk deer and bharal, blue sheep are rare. The bharal is a major food of the snow leopard. Bharal, hares, kangaroo, grasshopper, flea, and locust are among the best jumping animals. Wildlife include deer, bison, bear, leopard, monkey, Himalayan blue sheep (bharal), argali, wolves, foxes etc. Bharal can survive at great height by digging for roots or even climbing trees. During the rut, male bharal use multiple strategies for mating, namely tending, blocking, and coursing.
