本文介紹的是阿尔卑斯羱羊。關於另外数种名称相近的山羊属物种，請見「山羊属」。二名法 Capra ibex(Linnaeus, 1758) 羱羊或阿尔卑斯羱羊（学名：Capra ibex），居於歐洲的阿爾卑斯山上的一种山羊屬的野生山羊。目录 1 名称 2 分类 3 分布 4 特征 5 習性 5.1 攝食 5.2 繁殖 6 歷史 7 參考文献 8 外部連結名称在中文里，山羊屬现存九个物种中，除了本种之外，有另外六种也俗称为“羱羊”（详见：山羊屬）。分类阿尔卑斯羱羊现在多被视为一个单型物种，没有亚种之分。过去，居于北非的努比亞羱羊（英语：Capra ibex nubiana）（Capra nubiana）及居于中亚、北亚的西伯利亚羱羊（英语：Siberian ibex）（Capra sibirica）[1]曾被视为本种的亚种[2]。分布羱羊生活在阿爾卑斯山雪頂上的岩石間，習慣居住在6,500-15,000呎高陡斜及粗糙的地勢。特征雄性羱羊一般可以成長至1米高及100kg重，雌性羱羊多是雄性體型大小的一半。除了體型，雄性與雌性最大的分別就是那顯眼的鬍子。雄性及雌性羱羊都有一同大型及向後彎曲的角，雄性的角更可以生長達1m長。牠們會用角保護自己，免受捕獵者的襲擊，如狼、山貓、熊、胡狼及狐狸等。幼羊亦會面臨大型雀鳥如鷹的襲擊。羱羊在夏天是呈褐灰色的，而到達冬天時，就會轉為深褐色。習性攝食羱羊是草食性動物及以草、蘚、花、葉及細枝作食物。如果樹葉及嫩枝超出牠們可到達的範圍，羱羊會以後腳站立來吃這些食物。牠們於黃昏及晚上的時間進食，由高陡的山崖開始，至較低的阿爾卑斯山草坪。餘下的時間會留在較高的山崖及山坡，為著是要避免捕獵者的攻擊。在冬天因食物的稀少，羱羊會傾向居住較低海拔的地方。在夏天，由於每幾天就要喝水，牠們會選擇居住在近水源的地方。繁殖雄性羱羊一般都會在夏天聚居成群。在深秋時份的發情期，雄性羱羊會離犀獨自尋找雌性羱羊群。在繁殖期間，雄性羱羊會互相打鬥，以確定誰與雌性對象交配。除了會以角互相觝對方外，牠們很少會實際傷及對方。經過懷孕期及妊娠期的6個月後，一胎的幼羊就會於約5月的時間出生。歷史羱羊有著很長的時間被認為是一種神秘的動物。差不多所有牠身體的各部份，甚至是排泄物都會用作治療不同疾病的魔法藥的成份。因此，羱羊曾一度被大量捕殺，於19世紀初就曾接近滅絕的階段。但由於林業工作者的緣故，最後在大帕拉迪索山的羱羊於1816年被保護下來。於1854年，意大利的維托里奧·埃馬努埃萊二世為羱羊提供保護。而經過很多大型重新引入的計劃後，羱羊的數目估計有30,000頭，保護狀況屬於低危。[3] 维基共享资源中相关的多媒体资源：羱羊參考文献 ^ Capra sibirica (Asiatic Ibex, Himalayan Ibex, Siberia

Article

The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), also known as the steinbock, is a European species of goat which lives in the Alps. It is one of ten species in the genus Capra, and its closest living relative is the Iberian ibex. The Alpine ibex is a sexually dimorphic species; males are much larger and carry much larger, longer horns than females. Its coat is brownish-grey. Alpine ibexes tend to live in steep, rough terrain and open alpine meadows. They can be found at elevations as high as 3,300 m (10,800 ft) and their sharp hooves allow them to scale the steep slopes and cliffs of their mountainous habitat.

Alpine ibexes primarily feed on grass and are active throughout the year. Although they are social animals, adult males and females segregate for most of the year, coming together only to mate. During the breeding season, males use their long horns to fight for access to females. Ibexes have few predators but may succumb to parasites and diseases.
