| Ibex |
The Ibex is a wild goat. There are several species found in the mountain ranges of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The common ibex of the Caucasus, the Alps, and the Apennines is a brownish gray animal about 4½ feet (1.35 m) long and something less than three feet (.90 m) high. The ibex is a fine mountain climber, like the chamois in its habits, with a pair of large backward-curving horns that sometimes attain a length of three feet. The ibex is, of course, a game animal, attaining a weight of perhaps 200 pounds (90 kg).
