Ibex: A subspecies of the Ibex, the Alpine Ibex, can be found in 
Austria. Its habitat is limited to the Alps. By the beginning of the 
19%%sup th/%  century, only 60 animals had survived in the Gran 
Paradiso National Park. However, the Alpine Ibex was successfully 
resettled in Austria (Hagengebirge Mountains, Hochschwab Mountain).

\\
The Ibex males and females live in separate groups (exception: mating 
season from November through January) above the tree line; even-toed 
hoofed mammal (perissodactyl ungulate). Around 1-1.5 m long with 
characteristic horns; the horns of the male Ibex are much bigger and 
make it possible to determine the animal´s age due to their 
broad transverse ridges. Greyish brown and brown hide.
