Walia ibex: Living place and sexual dimorphism


Walia ibex, Capra walie, belongs to family bovidae and subfamily caprinae is found exclussively in the mountains of northern Ethiopia at high cliffs that rise above the lower elevated platea, providing a potential risk of falling for careless individuals. The male and the female walia ibex are sexually dimorphic in many aspects of appearance. In overall size, the adult female weights about 80 kg, roughly 50 to 60% of their male counterparts, which can weight up to 125 kg. Horns of the walia ibex are semi-circular in shape and are found in both sexes, but the male horns are more massive, reaching up to 110 cm in length. Key futures of horns are random knots and age rings that distinguish individuals in a population and at older ages, the male develops a black chest and a beard that further distinguishes the sexes. It is very strange that small sized animals like wildcats to foxes are predators of the walia ibex and capable of killing both the adult and juveniles.

    Mind the use of articles and spelling. Good flow ODP
