The term 'Old World Goat' refers to the species of wild goat known as the IBEX, which is found in mountainous regions of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The IBEX is a large and powerful animal, with long horns that curve backwards and a thick coat of fur. It is an agile climber, able to scale steep cliffs and rocky terrain with ease. The IBEX is an important part of the local ecology, providing food for predators and helping to maintain the balance of the environment.
