What would you think- is this a bezoar ibex?

Is this more a bezoar ibex?

I don`t know, but both the model and the live critter are beautyful

Why not ? But i guess it could be a Pyrenean Ibex (Capra pyrenaica)

The Bezoar Ibex or Persian Ibex are both names for the Asiatic Wild Goat.I think the model looks more like a young Nubian Ibex.

indeed,i also thought of a nubian ibex when i first saw this model(btw. i still look for it,so if anyone can help me ?)

Seriuosly... it looks like an ibex... But I can't see why it would look more like a Nubian than a Bezoar, I would be happy to understand.

My idea comes from this book, because it looks as found Nayab here this model

okay,fine. i have to correct my statement. You are right.Not only because of the picture but also because the stripe on the shoulders is missing for nubian ibex. I also remember some pictures of sets with mainly african mammals by Nayab, icluding a canid animal which was named "Abyssinian wolf". So this goat here would perfectly match to that set. But Nayabs are distributed in various combinations so they can appear in other sets as well. But i look for both those animals of course!
This is the "Abyssinian wolf"

If you find 2, please remember you to Philipp

first you go on the left to products
then to animal kingdom
after doing that you go to realistic animals
then the last thing you have to do is clicking on the 5 pic
and then i've i remember the 3 animal

Believe me, the fact that Nayab web page says that it's Alpine Ibex isn't very accurate information about the breed

Oh, i know that this is what Nayab say and that is the reason why i start this topic

You can NOT trust the Nayab taxonomy: See for example to the bison named "yak" or to the gepard named "leopard" :)

The picture in the book certainly looks more like a Wild/Bezoar goat and the scientific name it uses is that of the Wild Goat but the distribution map is for the Nubian Ibex.
The taxonomy of Wild Goats and Ibex is forever subject to change! :)
