What is another word for rupicapra?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈuːpɪkˌapɹə] (IPA) 
Rupicapra is a Latin word that is commonly used to describe a genus of mountain goats that inhabit rocky alpine regions across Europe and Asia. There are several synonyms for this species, which include the Alpine ibex, chamois or bouquetin. The word "ibex" is derived from the Greek word for goat - "ibex" meaning "high-climbing goat". The term "chamois" is used to describe the goat's soft leather, while "bouquetin" is used mainly in French language. Despite different names, the characteristics and behaviors of these animals remain rather consistent throughout their range. They are highly skilled at steep climbing, have sharp hooves and curved horns, and prefer to live in harsh, high-altitude environments.
