These large pheasants are more often heard than seen. And what a call it has!! It is a eerie wailing drawn out waah! wah! oooah!! uttered up to 15 times in a crescendo at dawn. Hence the 'Satyr' in its name. If you see one after you hear its call, you might be surprised to find a rather pretty crimson bird. While this particular species is the least threatened of all the tragopans, it is nevertheless considered near-threatened.
