Excellent results with Bezoar Ibex!
The successful "wildlife" project of Turkey
invites the Ibex - hunters to a dream trip. The
number of ibexes has increased dramatically in
recent years. The horns of ibexes which have
been bagged in various hunting grounds in the
recent years, awaken the interest of the
hunters.
The Bezoar Ibexes inhabit an area strecthing
from the southwest point of the Egean region to
the Mediterrenean region (the whole Taurus
mountain chain) till the northeast border region
and the East of Turkey.
The Ibex live in forest regions, scattered with
pines, oak trees and bushes, or on inaccesisible
steep slopes (400-3000m). The Anatolian Bezoar
Ibex has a upper body length of 135-150 cm on
average and a shoulder height of 90-100 cm. The
ibexes can weigh up to 100 kg, whereas the
females have a smaller body structure.
The ibex has majestic horns curved up, back, and
downward. The length of the horns vary from 90
to 150 cm, whereas the female horns measure from
25-30 cm. Both sexes have goatee. Ibexes have
dark brown fur in summer; the female fur is more
reddish or gold brown. In winter both sexes have
greyish fur. The Ibexes have a black stripe from
the shoulder to the front leg, the limps and the
neck. This stripe darkens as the Ibexes are in
the mating season. The Bezoar Ibex is regarded
as one of the unique Ibexes in the world owing
to its perfect body color and black winter fur.
