Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper deals with the population dynamics and feeding behavior of Markhor (Capra falconeri falconeri) in Chitral Gol. The estimated population of 225 consisted of all age classes but with lower male/female and the young per female ratios. The percentage of yearling and the young in the population suggested a normal population on the increase. Feeding habits and food plants preferred by the animal were observed and the results of the analysis for nutritional contents of food plants have been reported.
