Nubian Ibex are found in rocky regions of Africa and the Middle East, particularly in countries like Egypt, Sudan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. They are also found in parts of North America. These Ibex prefer rugged and rocky terrains like mountains, cliffs, and canyons. They are amazing climbers and are well adapted to such challenging environments. Nubian Ibex are medium-sized animals. They stand around 2.5 to 3 feet tall at the shoulder, and their body length can reach about 4 to 4.5 feet. They have a distinctive appearance with long, curved horns that grow both in males (bucks) and females (does). Their fur is usually a reddish-brown to tan color, which helps them blend in with the rocky surroundings. Their most impressive adaptation is their climbing ability. They have specialized hooves with rough bottoms that help them grip onto rocky surfaces. Their strong legs allow them to leap from one ledge to another with ease.

Nubian Ibex are herbivores, primarily eating a variety of plants including grasses, leaves, and shrubs that grow in their rocky habitat. Female Nubian ibex give birth to kids, usually one or two at a time. The kids are born in the spring when food is more available. The moms take care of them until they're ready to explore and climb on their own. These Ibex are social animals, often living in small groups or herds. They have keen senses that help them detect predators and they communicate with each other using sounds like calls and snorts.

Nubian Ibex are generally considered Vulnerable in terms of conservation. As their populations have decreased, efforts are being made to protect their habitats.
