[Extinct Animals] Portuguese Ibex (Capra pyrenaica lusitanica)


PO_ExtAn_062_Capra_pyrenaica_lusitanica


The Portuguese Ibex Capra pyrenaica lusitanica (an extinct subspecies of Spanish Ibex) was a species of mountain goat that inhabited the north mountainous zones of Portugal, Galicia, Asturias and western Cantabria. In size and colouration it was much like the Spanish animals, though inclining towards brown rather than black markings. Its horns were strikingly different from any of the other Iberian subspecies. They were only half the length of the Pyrenean Ibex (about 51 cm or 20"), but were almost twice as wide, and, consequently, much closer together at their base.
