Ibex
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.
