The West Caucasian tur (Capra caucasica) is a mountain-dwelling goat-antelope native to the western half of the Caucasus Mountains range, in Georgia and European Russia.

"[2][3] West Caucasian turs stand up to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall at the shoulder and weigh around 65 kg (143 lb).

West Caucasian turs live in rough mountainous terrain between 800 and 4,000 m (2,600 and 13,100 ft) above sea level, where they eat mainly grasses and leaves.

They are preyed upon by steppe wolves and lynxes; Persian leopards and Syrian brown bears may also be possible predators.

The West Caucasian tur is nocturnal, eating in the open at night, and sheltering during the day.
