Southeastern Ibex

Southeastern Ibex, also known as the Sierra Nevada Ibex, are quite small in body mass and light in color. Their population density is not as high and truly large males can be difficult to find, making it a prized achievement. Smaller and lighter in color than the Beceite and Gredos types. The Males’ horn structure is thick and long with an impressive backward curve forming a circle with the tips growing back towards the neck, horns forming a circle with the tips growing toward the neck like those of a Mouflon. The keel is smooth, making the horns almost round in cross-section.

Large, deep, rocky canyons, with an altitude that can reach up to 9,000 feet high; these are the highest mountains in Spain. The mountains of Tejada-Almijara and Sierra Nevada are a 4-hour drive south from Madrid and about an hour and a half from Malaga.
