Intro: The Ibex (Capra ibex) resembles the wild goat and belongs to genus Capra, family Bovidae and sub-order Artiodactyla. Its horns are rounded in the front instead of edged as that of wild-goat. In cross-section they are triangular and the grooving is very striking. In Europe, the Ibex is now found only in the Alps in a small area of Northern Italy, but it has been introduced to special reserves in Switzerland and elsewhere. In Asia, it is found in the mountains of Russian and Chinese Turkistan, Central Siberia, Kashmir, Chitral, Northern Areas, Afghanistan, Palestine and Arabia. There are four geographical races of this species viz; Himalayan Ibex or Alpine Ibex, Siberian Ibex, Spanish Ibex and Caucasian Ibex.
