This week, during my holydays in Alps mountains, I could see a peaceful male Ibex.

An ibex is a type of wild mountain goat with large recurved horns that are transversely ridged in front. Ibex are found in Eurasia and North Africa.

The Alpine ibex (scientific name : Capra ibex) is the best known.
