The Alpine ibex is a large ungulate from the bovid family. It lives high in the Alps mountains, climbs rocks excellently and has strong horns.
The Alpine ibex differs from other goats with very long horns in males and an incredible ability to climb almost vertical cliffs. It is important for nature as a herbivore in mountain ecosystems and as food for large predators.
