The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is a species of wild goat that inhabits rocky mountainous regions, including parts of Sudan. These animals are known for their impressive agility and climbing abilities, which help them navigate the steep and rugged terrain where they live. Nubian ibexes have distinctive long, curved horns, which are more prominent in males. They typically live in small groups, browsing on a variety of vegetation found in their habitat. Like many species of wild goats, they face threats such as habitat loss and hunting, which can impact their populations. Efforts to conserve these animals often involve habitat protection and management, as well as measures to reduce hunting pressure.
