[2] [15] [16] Saola skin is 1–2 millimetres (0.039–0.079 in) thick over most of the body, but thickens to 5 millimetres (0.20 in) near the nape of the neck and at the upper shoulders. This adaptation is thought to protect against both predators and rivals' horns during fights. [17] Saolas weigh between approximately 80–100 kg (176–220 lbs).

The Iberian ibex is characterized by its large and flexible hooves and short legs.

The horns of the Iberian ibex curve out and up and then back, inward, and, depending on subspecies, either up again or down.
