  Well there is one place in the south-east of the country, where a guy lives right across some cliffs where a group of these bezoar goats lives. He has set up a little viewing platform in his garden and from there you can get great views of these animals going about their day. Posted 7 years ago

This ibex is a vulnerable subspecies of wild goat, native to Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, Russia and Turkey.
