Himalayan Ibex In wild

  • 8 years ago
Himalayan Ibex (Capra ibex sibirica) is symbol of arid and rocky mountain of Karakoram, Hindukush and Himalayas of Gilgit-Baltistan. The males have heavy body, large horns, long bears and females are small body small horns. Its presence in its natural habitat is essential to maintain healthy ecosystem.
The Himalayan lbex is indigenous to Pakistan Himalayan and Karakurum range. Northern areas can be reach by flight to Gilgit and Skardu as well as Karakurum highway which goes to Southern China. December to March is suitable for lbex as the snow brings them to lower areas. The hunting areas are 9.000’ - 12.000’ and average of this specie 36”- 40” horn lenght.There are several good community managed areas where good trophies can be hunted.
The threats that Himalayan ibex face are the illegal hunting, human disturbance, habitat loss and competition for forage with domestic livestock. However, the ibex has a wider distribution and is plentiful and its future survival is not so threatened in Pakistan largely due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, due to extensive concentration of high mountain ranges in the extreme north western regions.
