Pheasants of Pakistan (Western Horned Tragopan) (2913 words)
The tragopans or horned pheasants are medium-sized montane pheasants in which the sexes are highly dimorphic, the males tending toward crimson on the head and sometimes elsewhere, and with extensive white to buffy dorsal spotting. Beebe (1918-1922) found western tragopans to be foraging on newly sprouted leaves, and based on the accounts of various sportsmen believed that such vegetable matter forms their principal diet. Generally, the satyr tragopan is largely limited to the watershed of the Ganges River, whilst the western is associated with the watershed of the Indus, although no major ecological or physiographic barrier separates the two at present.
