Bezoar ibex

Scientific Name: Capra aegagrus

Habitat: Bezoar Goats live across several different countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia. They inhabit mountainous areas at heights of up to 4,000 m above sea level, and like a mix of rocky outcrops and shrubby vegetation or coniferous forest. In the Caucasus region, which includes countries such as Armenia, they also occur in more open, arid habitats.

Description: The Bezoar Goat belongs to the sub-family Caprinae, sometimes described as the ‘goat antelope’ family. It contains a wide range of species that live in a variety of extreme environments, from deserts to alpine plateaus.

The Bezoar or Wild Goat is one of the main ancestors of the modern domestic goat. Like other goat antelopes, Bezoar Goats are stocky, gregarious bovids. Gregarious animals tend to form groups or loosely formed communities with others of the same species.

Male Bezoar Goats (billies) have a head-body length of 129 - 152 cm and can weigh up to 90 kg, while females (nannies) are smaller, weighing up to 55 kg.

Coat colours vary depending on the region and season. In the winter, adult males have a pale, ashy coat. This contrasts with their dark beard and chest, and with dark stripes along their spine, across their shoulders and front legs, and along their flanks. Both males and females of this species have horns. Females’ horns are rarely longer than 33cm, whereas adult male’s horns are far more striking. At up to 127 cm long, they curve upwards and backwards from the head in an arc shape.
