IBEX

The ibex (or steinbok) is several species of wild goat. The horns of the male are flattened, have two longitudinal ridges at the sides, and are crossed by numerous transverse knots. The horns of the female are short, more erect, with three or four knots in front. The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) is the best known. The Spanish, or Pyrenean ibex (Capra Hispanica) has smoother and more spreading horns.
