DAGESTAN
TUR HUNTING in Caucasian mountains.
Caucasian
tur. Now it is considered that there are 2 tur subspecies
in the Caucasus: Caucasian tur or West-Caucasian tur (Ñ.
caucasica) and the Dagestan or East-Caucasian tur (Ñ.
cylindricornis). Both species are large goats with the
body length of 120-180 cm, height of 78-112 cm, male weight
is up to 155 kg (usual1y of 20-140 kg). Their colour is
reddish-grey, but the Dagestan tur usually has a well-marked
dark "belt" on its back which the Caucasian
tur does not have or which is not so noticeable; These
goats differ considerably in the structure of horns: the
Caucasian tur's horns are arched and their tops are directed
downwards and inside The Dagestan tur has horns curved
in the form of a spiral and their ends are directed back
and upwards. The Caucasian tur is widespread in the western
part of the Main Caucasian ridge, and the Dagestan - in
the eastern part. At the area of about 400 sq.km., both
tours meet together and quite often form hybrids. Both
tours have a very similar habit of life. The tours live
in the rocky areas of the Alpine belt of mountains and
in rocks of a forest belt. During the year they move within
the limits of one ridge or a mountain spur, but they do
not attempt distant movement. In April - May when spring
comes in the mountains, the turs wintered in the Alpine
belt, go down to the top border of the forest and gather
on the sunny slopes. The animals which spent winter in
forests also rise here. As a result, both populations
separated before that get together again. In June-July
most animals gather in the Alpine belt. In the second
half of summer turs are strongly attracted by the areas
where were there are snowfields and glaciers near which
they spend hot time of day. At the end of August -September
some turs, mainly females with young growth, go down to
the top border of the forest where there is still fresh
greenery on damp hollows and shady slopes...(find
