Nubian Ibex

Posted by
B. Thomas (Arlington, Texas, United States) on 4 December 2017 in Animal & Insect.

Well adapted to rocky terrain and dry climates, they are nimble runners on rocks and slopes but slow on flat terrain and have very little stamina. They drink water daily, but are well adapted to dry climates with long periods without water. The shiny coat reflects sun and keeps them cool. They do not like getting wet and seek shelter during rain storms. The kids stay with their mothers until age of three.

A fine beard and curving horns. That one looks to be challenging you but is probably just curious.
