Nubian Ibex Baby Mountain Goats in Israel 2025
The Negev ibex mountain goat climbs rocks better than any cragsman!
Best time: February–August
The wild mountain goats with their long curved horns and white fur look surreal while jumping up and down the rocky hills of the Negev desert. Herds of up to 500 may cross your route while you are enjoying the views of the desert. These creatures, described as early as in biblical texts are also quite social among each other. Mothers nurture and teach their kids to climb the mountains for up to 6 months after their birth, which is truly remarkable. We advise to go see the teaching process and get some cuteness overdose for future now!
