Animal of the Day!

Pyrenean Ibex (Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica)

(Photo in Public Domain)

Extinction Date- 2000

Habitat- Pyrenees Mountains

Size (Weight/Length)- 65 kg; 115 cm

Diet- Grasses

Cool Facts- The Pyrenean ibex, or the bucardo, was a subspecies of the Iberian ibex. These ibex were experts in their mountain homes. Specially adapted hooves let them cling to a nearly sheer cliff face. They lived in small groups but females tended to form separate herds from the males outside of the mating season. Hunting pressure by humans and resource pressure by livestock forced the Pyrenean ibex into a tiny population in the Ordesa National Park. On January 6, 2000, the last Pyrenean ibex named Celia was found dead under a fallen tree. At least… until 2003. The Pyrenean ibex was the first species to become unextinct for the span of about ten minutes when a cloned ibex was born. She passed away due to lung defects and another attempt has not occurred due to ethical concerns and conservation efforts turning towards the remaining Iberian ibex subspecies. 

Rating- 13/10 (Saving endangered species should be focused on before bringing back extinct ones.)
