Capra nubiana The Nubian ibex is a magnificent desert animal. It lives in cliffs and got extinct in most of its range (Ethiopia to Israel). In Israel several hundreds of them thrive and can be seen easily in the town of Mizpe Ramon on the cliffs of the Ramon Crater.

    I read that the ibex is only about 50 kg/110 lbs, which is amazing because it makes me wonder how heavy the horns are? The horns can grow up to a meter long! Posted 6 years ago
