Looks like an Ibexor Steinbok to me.

Re: Looks like an IbexThank you for the correction. I'd asked a local what I'd seen up there, trying to describe it, and they called it a chamois. Do they look similar?

Re: Looks like an IbexLook similar? Maybe from a long distance...
This is a chamois.

Re: Looks like an IbexYes, doing a bit of research just now, they look quite different.
According to Wikipedia, the steinbok live in Africa. I suppose this is where they originated from. Are they not native to Europe?

Re: Looks like an IbexAfrica? I've never heard that!
Maybe some subspecies... Steinbock is the german name (in italian "stambecco", in slovenian "kozorog"). Its scientific name is "capra ibex"
I found this article on wikipedia

Nice shot, but...It's a steinbock, not a chamois.
