An ibex is any of several species of wild mountain goat, distinguished by the male’s large curved horns, which are transversely ridged in front. The ibex have cloven hooves and the males have long beards.
Male ibex are commonly larger and heavier than females, and their most noticeable difference is in the size of their horns. Females grow a pair of smaller, thinner horns which develop considerably more slowly than the males’. The ibex’s horns appear at birth and continue to grow all throughout its life.
