Nilgiri tahr
The Nilgiri tahr (''Nilgiritragus hylocrius'') known locally as the Nilgiri ibex or simply ibex, is an ungulate that is endemic to the Nilgiri Hills and the southern portion of the Western Ghats in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in Southern India. It is the state animal of Tamil Nadu.〔Prater, S.H. 1948, 1971. ''The book of Indian Animals'', Bombay Natural History Society and Oxford University Press, India. 324 pages. ISBN 0195621697.〕 Despite its local name, it is more closely related to the sheep of the ''Ovis'' genus than the Ibex and wild goats of the ''Capra'' genus.
==Etymology==
In the Tamil language it is called ''varaiaadu'' (வரையாடு), the term being composed of two Tamil words, ''wurrai'' a precipice, and ''aadu'', a goat.In Malayalam it is pronounced as "Varayaadu" (വരയാട്).〔 The ancient word in classical Tamil was "varudai" (வருடை: Natrinai, 359; Ainkurunuru, 287; Pattinappalai, 139). It was previously named ''Capra warryato'' by Gray.
