Himachal Pradesh: A herd of Himalayan Ibex was seen here in Himachal
A herd of Himalayan Ibex has been seen in Pangi, a tribal area of Chamba. The sighting of this herd in the Pangi valley is a good sign for the environment. Earlier, a herd of Himalayan Ibex was also seen in Bankhar Dhar of Bharmour in Chamba district. This shows that they are flourishing well in these areas of the Himalayas. Let us tell you that Ibex is an animal living at an altitude of 3500 to 6500 meters, which is included in the dangerous animal. The teams of the Wildlife Department are constantly visiting many wildlife sanctuaries to survey wildlife. During the survey, the team found a herd of Himalayan Ibex in the Sechu Wildlife Sanctuary area. Himalayan Ibex is found in the high altitude areas of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. Local people also call it wild goat.
They are called a subspecies of Siberian Ibex, which is long and curved. Ibex live in small herds and an average of 50 ibex are included in a herd. Ibex living in mountain rocks are preyed upon by Ammon snow leopards. Ibex has been included in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The number of ibex in the world is less. The team of the Wildlife Department has searched for the Himalayan Ibex as well as rare musk deer and snow leopards. During the survey, males, females and cubs were seen in the herds of Himalayan Ibex. This large number of ibex in the rocks of Pangi is a good sign for the environment. It seems that the seeds of the endangered species of Pangi are bearing good fruits. The team is searching for various wild animals and counting them in the sanctuary. On the basis of this counting, the forest department will prepare a road for the conservation of wildlife. Currently, the survey of the Wildlife Department is going on.
