Nilgiri Tahr:
In the Tamil Language it is called varaiaadu. The Nilgiri Tahrs are stocky goats with short, coarse fur and a bristly mane. Males are larger than the females, and have a darker color when mature. Both sexes have curved horns.
At the bottom of National Park buses will take us to the peak point, where these Nilgiri Tahr's are usually availalbe. At the last point one small information center is available which gives the information about Eravikulam habitats, different flora and fauna.
