Shape features
Ibex goat and the body shape of large body length 115-170 cm, shoulder height about 100 cm, weight 50 kg. Chin has to be, long male, female short. Tail length 10-20 cm, tail brown. Shorter limbs, seems relatively thick, narrow hooves. Hair: Summer hair brown, abdomen and limbs inside the white; long winter hair color pale. Angle: Xiongshou and Cishou head has angle Xiongshou angle is extremely well developed, generally the length of 100 centimeters, the highest record of 147.3 cm. Wide-angle shape for the former after the narrow, triangular cross-section similar to, roughness in the 25-30 cm, angle of the front there is a large and significant cross-ridge, the number of about 14-15 months, although not hovering, but curvature generally two-thirds of semi-circle as well as circle, Cishou angle smaller.

Environment
Habitat at an elevation of 3500-6000 meters of altitude bare rock and gravel rugged mountain zone, winter does not migrate to low areas, so called for the dwelling place of the highest mammals. But in 2007 in eastern China's Xinjiang Altai mountains Chagan, found that many ibex populations to move to more than 1,000 meters above sea level in winter pastures.

Habits
Very good at climbing and jumping, hoof very solid, flexible joints and heel as the toes, like pliers, can freely indulge in the dangerous rocks between the Mercedes-Benz. A variety of weeds for food. Rest on the bare rocks during the day, morning and evening before to go to the lower alpine meadow at the food and water. Like groups of activities, usually only 4-10, there are dozens or even hundreds of larger groups only by able-bodied Xiongshou as a leader. It's high vigilance in foraging time to leave 2-3 only Cishou sentry, standing not far away from the rock group, the movement around watching. Once the abnormal situation, the group immediately leisurely climb up the cliffs, often make a "mountain climber," said Snow Leopard is also helpless.

Growth and reproduction
Ibex usually late November to early December, mating, Xiongshou hit each other in a long angle, until one tired, defeated and fled to date, the winner does not chase. Xiongshou chase Cishou often to bow Shen Jing position. Cishou pregnancy is 170-180 days, 5-7 on the production, every 1-2 Aberdeen births. Breast-feeding for 2 months, 1-2 years of age to sexual maturity. Life of 12-18 years. Resistance to crude feed, disease resistance.

Population Status
1. Pyrenean ibex Pyrenean ibex living in the northern Spain Pyrenees mountain ranges in the mountains. Basque people's favorite food, this time hunting ibex regarded as the preferred target, the ibex ultimately to the extinction to the 1880s, the Pyrenees there is no trace of the ibex. At this point only the Spanish capital of Madrid last remnants of the National Zoo has a male ibex, 1892, the only one Pyrenees ibex died. This is said to the 1960s, someone discovered a similar Pyrenean ibex animals, but has not been confirmed. 2 Ethiopia subspecies of ibex Ethiopia Sammy has Semi En En National Park north slope of Mt unique subspecies of ibex in Ethiopia, most of the activities in the park. Estimated number of 400 in 1989, 1996, reduced to 250. Ibex population range is also reduced. Further danger is that Ethiopia and Asia ibex free movement of species and local occurrence of hybrid goats. 3 China 1960s before the ibex distribution area sparsely populated, 60s to early 80s, due to the development of transportation, population growth and high demand for meat, alpine pastures and the development of large-scale herders Luanbulanlie the ibex's population decline, especially in areas close to population. 1990s, population density in the Yi Erbin Hill survey was 4.09 (1.25 / km2), Altai mountain areas with low habitat density of 0.13 / km2, Tuo Lima by Alexandra population density 1.378 ± 0.868 只 / km2, Xinjiang Taxkorgan Nature Reserve and adjacent areas ibex average density of 0.37 / km2, an estimated total of ibex in the area less than 1000. Tianshan area of about 40 000 -5 10 000 head, while others rarely, there may Beishan 3000-4000, Inner Mongolia Castle may have been seen. In strengthening the protection of ibex and publicity, large-scale hunting restraint, population multiply rapidly, the number has gone up, in some parts of the Tianshan Mountains has become a dominant species. Several existing protected areas: Altai Kanas protected areas, the Tian Shan and Bogda Tuomuer peak Taxkorgan protected areas. Altun traces of ibex is no longer protected areas. October-December 2005, Xinjiang Tomur National Nature Reserve ibex (capra ibex) population density and habitat use of the investigation. Population density in the region ibex survey shows the average group size of 8.43, population density of 269.76 / 100km ^ 2; habitat _select_ion survey ibex wide range of activities at an altitude of 2500-3000m within the area of distance from the cliff, slope, topography and vegetation types tend to favor certain, it tends to in cliff near (<100m), slope greater than 30 ° but less than 45 ° and rugged mountain activities, will avoid the grass and flat slopes. Ibex habitat use patterns that may meet their security needs related. According to the Bavarian News 2007-12 25 reported that Xinjiang Bazhou domestic goats from the north early 1990s only to return to the now more than 4,000 around 8000.
