The Himalayan serow (Capricornis thar) also known as the thar (esp. in the Eastern Himalayas) is a goat-antelope native to the Himalayas, and eastern and southeastern Bangladesh. It has been classified as "Near Threatened" by IUCN because it is believed to be in significant decline due to hunting for food and habitat loss.
