Temminck‘s Tragopan (Tragopan teminckii)

Dangerous life in impassable areas

The Temminck‘s tragopan inhabits cool, rainy mountain forests. There the branches of the trees are covered with a thick layer of moss and interspersed with dense undergrowth. The tragopan loves the steep slopes and windy ridges of the mountains. When in danger it alerts with a soft "Quack-quack-quack-quack". If the enemy approaches the tragopan sneaks away like a cat with the slightest suspiciuos noise. Nevertheless the predators are often succesfull as they behave quietly and wait.
