... Tragopan is a general term for five bird species in the genus Tragopan, family Phasianidae, order Galliformes, or refers to one of them. It is also known as the horned pheasant, because the males protrude two fleshy protuberances from their heads during courtship displays. Tragopan species are prized by breeders for their beauty. They are about 60-70cm long, have short beaks, rounded wing tips, and relatively short tails. The original distribution of the Tragoma genus was along the Himalayas, in West Pakistan and Kashmir ( T. melanocephalus ), along the southern edge of the Himalayas ( T. satyra ), in the mountains of Bangladesh and northern Myanmar ( T. blythi ), from eastern India to central China ( T. temminckii ), and eastern China ( T. caboti ). However, due to habitat destruction and overhunting, the distribution area has now shrunk, and the three species, the Tragoma, the Tragoma, and the Tragoma, are at risk of extinction. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Tragopan" are listed below.
