The Gobi Ibex is also known as the Siberian Ibex. It is a species of wild goat that inhabits the rugged and arid landscapes of the Gobi Desert and surrounding regions in Central Asia. Gobi Ibex are medium-sized goats. Adult males, known as "bucks," are generally larger than females, known as "does." Bucks can weigh between 180 to 220 pounds, while does are usually lighter. Their coat color can vary depending on the season. In winter, the Gobi Ibex sports a thick and dense coat that is light gray to brownish-gray, helping them blend in with their rocky surroundings. In the summer, their coat becomes shorter and lighter in color. Both males and females of the Gobi Ibex species have horns, but the horns of males are much larger and more impressive. The horns are long, curved, and ridged, and they grow in a spiral shape. The horns can reach lengths of around 39 inches or more in some cases. Female horns are typically shorter and thinner.

Gobi Ibex are well-adapted to their harsh desert environment. They have specially designed hooves that provide good traction on rocky surfaces, allowing them to navigate steep cliffs and rugged terrain with ease. Their keen sense of balance helps them move confidently in these challenging landscapes. These Ibex are social animals and often form groups or herds. The composition of these groups can vary throughout the year, depending on factors like food availability and mating season. During mating season, male Ibexes may engage in competitive behaviors to establish dominance and access to females.

Gobi Ibex are herbivores, and their diet primarily consists of various plants, shrubs, and grasses found in their arid habitat. They are well adapted to extract the necessary nutrients from sparse vegetation.

Gobi Ibex populations have faced some challenges due to habitat loss and hunting in the past. However, conservation efforts have been put in place to protect and manage their populations.
