Ibex, Work in progress

Work in progress. These goats (also known as capricorns) live on mountainous pastures at 10,000 feet (3,000 m). During late afternoon and evening hours, they descend into the lower alpine meadows and eat grasses, shrubs, leaves and roots. They spend the rest of the day in the higher altitude of the cliffs and hills, to avoid predators, such as wolves, bears, lynxes, jackals and foxes. Alpine Ibex live 10-14 years in the wild and 20 years in captivity.
