The Alpine Ibex is a species of wild goat found in the mountainous regions of the European Alps. Known for its impressive curved horns, which can grow up to 1 meter long, the ibex is well-adapted to steep, rocky terrains. Its thick fur provides insulation against cold weather, while its specialized hooves allow for excellent grip on rugged surfaces. Alpine ibexes are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, herbs, and shrubs. They are social animals, often seen in groups, and are known for their agility, capable of climbing steep cliffs with ease. Conservation efforts have helped their populations recover from past declines due to hunting and habitat loss.
