The markhor /ˈmɑːrkɔːr/ (Capra falconeri), is a large Capra species native to Central Asia, Karakoram and the Himalayas. It is listed on the IUCN Red List as Near Threatened since 2015.[2]

The markhor is the national animal of Pakistan, where it is also known as the screw horn or "screw-horned goat",[3] mārkhor (مارخور) in Pashto and mārkhor (مارخور) in Urdu from Classical Persian.[4]

Markhor stand 65 to 115 centimetres (26 to 45 in) at the shoulder, 132 to 186 centimetres (52 to 73 in) in length and weigh from 32 to 110 kilograms (71 to 243 lb).[5] They have the highest maximum shoulder height among the species in the genus Capra, but is surpassed in length and weight by the Siberian ibex.[6] The coat is of a grizzled, light brown to black colour, and is smooth and short in summer, while growing longer and thicker in winter. The fur of the lower legs is black and white. Markhor are sexually dimorphic, with males having longer hair on the chin, throat, chest and shanks.[5] Females are redder in colour, with shorter hair, a short black beard, and are maneless.[7] Both sexes have tightly curled, corkscrew-like horns, which close together at the head, but spread upwards toward the tips. The horns of males can grow up to 160 cm (63 in) long, and up to 25 cm (10 in) in females.[5] The males have a pungent smell, which surpasses that of the domestic goat
