The Walia ibex (Capra walie) is a species
of wild goat that is found exclusively in the
mountains of northern Ethiopia. It is also
known as the abyssinian ibex. Nearly all of the
remaining endangered population resides
along 25 kilo meters (15.5 miles) in the
Simien Mountains National Park. These
mountains are characterized by huge gullies
and gorges, where the very agile Walia ibex
are able to inhabit even the most slippery,
remote rocky cliffs and survive on very sparse
vegetation.
It is the striking coloration and magnificent
arching horns that distinguish the Walia ibex
from other species of ibex. They have a
beautiful chocolate-brown to chestnut-brown
coat that is grayish-brown around the muzzle
and a lighter gray around the eyes and along
the legs. Their bellies and inside legs are white
and the mature males sport black beards.
There are also contrasting black and white
marking patterns along the legs. Adults males
generally weigh 80-125 kg (180-280 lb) and
have very large horns that arch backwards in
lengths up to 110 cm (43.3 in). Females also
have horns, but are smaller and thinner than
males with paler color markings.
