Distribution
Tatra chamois lives in all parts of the Tatras: West Tatras and Eastern Tatras, which consist of the High Tatras and the Belianske Tatras , all protected by national parks in both countries. As of 2006 the Slovak Tatra National Park was home to 371 chamois, of which 72 were lambs, and the Polish Tatra National Park was home to 117 chamois, of which 27 were lambs. As of 2010 a population recovered to 841 chamois, of which 74 were lambs, 699 in Slovakia and 142 in Poland, which is near to population peak of year 1964, when more than 900 chamois were sighted in Tatras.Because of concerns of survivability of the Chamois in its native range, the chamois was also artificially introduced in the Low Tatras, situated south of Tatras, in 1969 to 1976. The introduction involved 30 individuals and the current population living in Low Tatras National Park is about 100.
