Nubian Ibex
Capra nubiana
Nubian ibex inhabit arid mountains, cliffs, and rugged wadis of northeastern Africa and the Middle East. They browse on grasses, leaves, shoots, and shrubs, often moving between sparse feeding patches in difficult terrain. Their broad hooves and exceptional balance let them scale near-vertical rock faces, while males use long curved horns in forceful contests.
