KUBAN & MIDCAUCASIAN TURS
The Western Caucasus gives us the chance to hunt two different species of Tur: Kuban and Mid-Caucasian.
In case of the Kuban Tur, its horns grow in a scimitar shape, growing widely. They are dark and the rings are usually well marked. The fur is yellowish and short in summer time, and yellowish to brownish and the hair is longer during the coldest months. Normally, the males chase 110 cm (42 inches) tall and its weight goes beyond 100 kg. (250 lb.). Its distribution is considered from the far North-West Caucasus to the Mt. Elbrus.
On the other hand, the Mid-Caucasian Tur is considered a miscegenation of the Kuban and Dagestan Tur. Therefore, its characteristics are a mix of both of them. The horns are still dark and robust as any Tur, but they grow widely and backwards, closing its tips in a rounded way. The coat is normally reddish and darker in winter.
