Description: | This colourful pheasant is native to the central and eastern Himalayan region. The name comes from the inflatable wattles of the male bird. During an elaborate courtship display these are inflated so that the male appears to have two large horns. Whilst the Satyr Tragopan is still common in Bhutan, the population is declining in India, Tibet and Nepal, where it is hunted for food and its brightly coloured feathers. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
