American ibex

The American ibex (Capra canadensis), also known as the American wild goat, is a species of wild goat that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the wetlands, forests, open woodlands, and mountainous forest habitats to help boost biodiversity. The American ibex is not to be confused with the mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus), which is more closely related to the serows, gorals, chamoises, and antelopes than true sheep or goats. The American ibex can be distinguished by the male's large recurved horns, which are transversely ridged in front. The American ibex usually has the shoulder height about 43 inches (1.09 meters) and weigh around 270 pounds (120 kg). American ibex has a medium brownish-tan color, with a white underbelly; males also have a dark brown, almost black, stripe down their backs and a similarly-colored stripe around their necks. Like other ibexes, they are entirely herbivorous and mainly feed on grasses, shrubs, leaves, vegetables, roots, and fallen fruits. The species can live around 20 years in the wild, although American ibexes in captivity, if properly cared for, can live to be almost 25 years. The conservation status of the American ibex is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American ibex's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
