Caucasian snowcock (Tetraogallus caucasicus) is not listed as endangered by IUCN, but it is an important endemic species for the Caucasus Ecoregion. The species is found in alpine areas of the Greater Caucasus. Unlike the black grouse, the snowcock prefers habitats in dry alpine landscapes (usually over 2,400 m), and is mostly found where there are rocks in the subnival zone. No data about long-term trends in population dynamics are available. More
