Background information about our austrian native wild-species chamois
The chamois is a type of goat in Europe and Asia Minor. The chamois has relatively long, strong legs with relatively large hooves. Both sexes wear horns, also called “Krucken”. These are up to 25 inches long and are turning. They are notched at the root in a circle, rising straight and bent backwards at the top.
The animal prefers to stay in the upper forest belt, but often rises in the summer up into the mountains. If the chamois are disturbed further down, it will go to the most inaccessible areas, from where it will visit the grassy fields between the rocks at dawn. Towards winter, they move further into the woods.
