🐃Alpine ibex
El íbice alpino o cabra salvaje de los Alpes (Capra ibex) es un bóvido de la subfamilia Caprinae presente únicamente en la cordillera de los Alpes. También pertenece a esta especie la cabra salvaje de Nubia y la asiática, aunque es más frecuente considerarlas especies separadas bajo los nombres de Capra nubiana y Capra sibirica. Otras especies emparentadas son la cabra montés (Capra pyrenaica) de España y la cabra bezoar (Capra aegagrus aegagrus) del Oriente Medio, de la que desciende la cabra doméstica.
