Ibex, any of several sure-footed, sturdy wild goats of the genus Capra in the family Bovidae (order Artiodactyla) that are found in the mountains of Europe, Asia, and northeastern Africa.
Found in the steep, rocky peaks of the European Alps, Alpine ibexes are wild goats that are masters of navigating near-vertical cliffs. A BBC video showing an ibex climbing a seemingly impossibly steep dam has over 228 million views on YouTube.
Ibex, those stunning wild goats of mountainous regions, are creatures of both remarkable agility and intriguing history. Their powerful builds, impressive horns, and specialized adaptations allow them to thrive in harsh environments.
"Ibex" is a multi-species common-name grouping within the genus Capra (wild goats), not a single species; several Capra species are commonly called ibex depending on region (e.g., Alps/Europe, Iberia, Middle East, Central Asia, Ethiopia).
The Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex) lives in rocky regions along the snowline above alpine forests of the European Alps. It is closely related to the Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) and the Middle Eastern Nubian Ibex (Capra ibex nubiana). Ibex are even-toed hoofed animals, also known as ‘cloven hoofed’.
