According to BRITANNICA.COM (
https://www.britannica.com/animal/markhor ), the markhoar goat is a member of the Bovidae family. It is usually found on mountains throughout Kashmir and Turkistan to Afghanistan. It says that these goats can be 95-102 inches in height and has long horns, which I've represented through using my versatility to make myself look taller by a specific pose and camera angle. (yes you may notice there are no horns, but I believe we don't need horns to give a exquisite photo) In the summers, which I've chosen to follow, they are seen with a reddish brown coat of fringe and fur. I'm representing this by my reddish-brown tassel dress. It may not have a lot of fur but the male actually is supposed to have more fringe and fur in it's throat and chest area, so with that I feel like I am representing a female markhoar goat.
According to WIKIPEDIA.COM (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markhor class="topic" rel="nofollow" href="https://tengaged.com/posts/topic/Behavior">#Behavior), females tend to climb to the HIGHEST rocky ridges above, so I've represented that as a dark and smoky background. It presents what I'd believe is the late afternoon of a female markhoar goat climbing up to reach the highest rocky ridges. Her pose represents as if she was climbing a wall and it was very tiring to climb up. They do a lot more than many animals that you could think of.
In the end, I believe that this photo represents a very good interpretation of the hard-working markhoar goat.
