Alpine ibex goat

Photography by © (Jonas Schäfer). The trademark of the alpine ibex, its imposing and curved horns. The headdress of these unique animals continues to grow annually and can weigh up to 20kg. The age of the animal can be determined from the grooves. The Alpine ibex belongs to the Bovidae family. I photographed the mighty alpine ibex in the Bernese Oberland. To meet ibexes in the wild is always a unique experience. ZdoRodZ

Ethopian Walia Ibex. The Ibex is a wild goat of mountain habitats. They are very agile and hardy, able to climb on bare rock, survive on sparse vegetation,They can be distinguished from the genus Ovis, which includes sheep, by the presence of scent glands close to the feet, in the groin, and in front of the eyes, and the absence of other facial glands, and by the presence of a beard in the males, and of hairless calluses on the knees of the forelegs.
