 The area is also rich in birds, including the great hornbill, and hosts seasonal migrant birds such as the grey wagtail.The Valparai range is habitat to the Nilgiri tahr, an endemic wild ungulate.These mountain goats inhabit the high ranges and prefer open terrain, cliffs and grass-covered hills, a habitat largely confined to altitudes from 1200 to 2600m in the southern Western Ghats.
