Capra ibex - Stambecco, Ibex Gran Paradiso NP, Italy
The higher elevations of the European Alps and east to Central China are the ideal places to find the Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex). It is very social, forming male, female, juvenile, and mixed-sex groupings. Other communities call it the Ibex, steinbock, or bouquetin. Males are larger than females. Alpine Ibexes have a standing shoulder height between 27.6”-37” (70-94 cm), overall body length from 47.2”-66.9” (120-170 cm), standing height of roughly 36.2”-52” (92-132 cm), and a body width of 13”-18.1” (33-46 cm). The weight of a Alpine Ibex is between 88-265 lb (40-120 kg). Alpine Ibexes have a typical lifespan of 10-21 years.

IUCN Himalayan Ibex primarily occupies mountainous regions from 500-6,700 m asl in rocky terrain and open alpine meadows and crags, seeking out lower elevations during the winter (Fedosenko and Blank 2001). It occupies precipitous habitats in a range of environments from deserts, low mountains and foothills, to high mountain ridges. Siberian ibex can also be found in areas with canyon, rocky outcrops, and steep ‘escape’ terrain far from high mountains (Fedosenko and Blank 2001). The species does not enter forest zones, but on a hot day does prefer shaded areas, it tends to remain near steep, escape terrain (Fedosenko and Blank 2001). Its diet consists of alpine grasses and herbs, and it feeds in early morning and evenings (Fedosenko and Blank 2001). Ibex live in small groups that vary considerably in size, sometimes forming herds of over 100 animals, but more typically averaging 6-30 animals, depending on the region (Reading et al. 1995, 1997, 1999b, Fedosenko and Blank 2001). Diurnal, they spend the day in alternating periods of activity and rest. Females gestate for 170-180 days (Geptner et al. 1961) and usually give birth to one, sometimes two, kids in the spring. The animals reach sexual maturity at 24 months for females and 18 months for males, although usually only older males mate (Fedosenko and Blank 2001). Siberian ibex can live up to 16-17 years Geptner et al. 1961, Fedosenko and Blank 2001).
This time this is a full grown male ibex, also taken at the Wildpark Langenberg. You can know how old he is by counting the bumps on his horns!
Next ibex picture. This one is also rather young, a few years old, but no baby anymore! I like the background too.
