The '''Chukar''' (''Alectoris chukar'') is a Eurasian upland gamebird in the pheasant family [[Phasianidae]] of the order [[Galliformes]], gallinaceous birds. Other common names of this bird include 'Chukker' (sometimes misspelled as 'Chuker'), 'Chukar Partridge', 'Red-legged Partridge', 'Rock Partridge', 'Indian Hill Partridge', 'Chukka', 'Chukkar', 'Chukor', 'Chukore', 'Chikone', 'Kabk', 'Kau-Kau', and 'Keklik'. The Chukar is the [[List of national birds|National bird]] of [[Pakistan]] respectively.{{refn|name=Gcounts|group=n|''“The Official National bird and Avifaunae emblem of [[Pakistan]]” respectively''}}.

==Distribution==
This partridge has its native range in [[Asia]] from [[Pakistan]] and [[Kashmir]], and [[Afghanistan]] in the east to southeastern Europe in the west, and is closely related and similar to its western equivalent, the Red-legged Partridge, Alectoris rufa. It has been introduced widely, and became established in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Hawaii. In Great Britain, hybrids between this species and the also introduced Red-legged Partridge are common.

The '''Markhor''' (''Capra falconeri'') is a large goat. It is found in [[woodland]] in [[Central Asia]], [[Karakoram]] and the Western [[Himalayas]], this is the '''National Animal of Pakistan'''.

Markhor are 65 to 115 centimetres tall at the shoulder. They usually weigh from 40 to 110 kilograms. Females are a tan colour with a white underbelly and a pattern of black and white on the legs. Males are a lighter tan colour with the same white underbelly and pattern on the legs. Males also have a black face and lots of long white fur on their neck and chest which can grow down to their knees. Both males and females have [[corkscrew]]-shaped [[horn (anatomy)|horns]] which can grow up to 160 cm / 64 inches long in males, and up to 25 cm / 10 inches in females.

Markhor live in places 500 to 3500 metres (1,500 to 11,000 feet) high, where they eat grass, leaves.<ref name=NatGeo>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationalgeographic.org/projects/photo-ark/animal/capra-falconeri/|title=Endangered Bukharan Markhor|publisher=National Geographic|accessdate=July 28, 2021}}</ref> Markhor often stand on their back legs to reach the top leaves of trees. Markhor are active (move around more) in the early morning and late afternoon. Females gather in [[herd]]s (groups) of up to nine animals. Males usually live alone.

The markhor is the National animal of Pakistan. The word "Markhor" is Persian for "Snake Eater". They live in [[Pakistan]], [[Uzbekistan]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Tajikistan]] and [[Indian occupied Kashmir]]'s [[Kashmir]] Valley. In Pakistan, they live in the Chitral, Ghizar and Hunza regions. There are fewer markhor left because human beings take [[livestock]] to eat grass in the [[habitat|places where the markhor lives]]. Other people have killed the markhor for its horns. As of 2012, the [[IUCN]] said there were probably 2,500 markhor left in the wild.<ref name=SciAm>{{cite web|publisher=Scientific American Blogs|accessdate=July 27, 2012|date=May 16, 2021|title=Sanctuaries Established to Help Save Spectacular Kashmiri Goat|url=https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/sanctuaries-save-spectacular-kashmiri-goat/|author= John R.
