The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is a desert-dwelling goat species (Genus Capra) found in mountainous areas of northern and northeast Africa, and the Middle East. [2] It was historically considered to be a subspecies of the Alpine ibex (C. ibex), but is now considered a distinct species.
The Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica), also known using regionalized names including Altai ibex, Asian ibex, Central Asian ibex, Gobi ibex, Himalayan ibex, Mongolian ibex or Tian Shan ibex, [2] is a polytypic species of ibex, a wild relative of goats and sheep. It lives in Central Asia, and is, by far, the most widely-distributed species in the ...
The ibex was often hunted for its meat, with other body parts used for medicine. The ibex horns were highly sought after as a remedy for impotence, while its blood was used for treating kidney stones. [citation needed] The relentless hunting of the ibex might have led to its extinction were it not for the foresight of the dukes of Savoy.
The dog food recommendation should be based on nutrient suitability instead of dog's preferences. Pet owners should consider their dog's breed, size, age, and health condition and choose food that is appropriate for their dog's nutritional needs. [5] In the United States alone, the dog food market was expected to reach $23.3 billion by 2022. [6]
A comparison of 3 insecticides (selamectin, fipronil, imidacloprid) showed that selamectin reduced larval cat fleas ≥93.5% after 24 h at doses of ≥0.3 μg. In contrast, at 24 h neither fipronil nor imidacloprid reached 90% reduction, even at the highest doses tested (0.5 μg for fipronil and 5.0 μg for imidacloprid).
Mibolerone, also known as dimethylnortestosterone (DMNT) and sold under the brand names Cheque Drops and Matenon, is a synthetic, orally active, and extremely potent anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) and a 17α-alkylated nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) derivative which was marketed by Upjohn for use as a veterinary drug.
The Alpine ibex may compete for resources with chamois and red deer; [2] the presence of these species may force the ibex to occupy higher elevations. [21] The Alpine ibex's climbing ability is such that it has been observed scaling the 57-degree slopes of the Cingino Dam in Piedmont, Italy, where it licks salts. Only females and kids, which ...
The cloned Pyrenean ibex was born in Spain through genetic cloning techniques, with the research article published in 2009. [2] However, she died several minutes after birth due to a lung defect. [3] [4] The Pyrenean ibex remains the only animal to have ever been brought back from extinction—and also the only one to go extinct twice.
