The Nubian Ibex’ natural habitat is rocky, mountainous terrain, which they can navigate with ease while predators struggle to keep up, although they can also sometimes be found at lower elevations. Nubian ibex are well-adapted for their hot climates, with a shiny coat thought to help reflect sunlight to keep cool.
