Ibex Distribution
Both the European or Alpine population,
and Himalayan population of Ibex share common certain distinguishing
features. The Himalayan Ibex can be separated from the Alpine population
by the horn shape which, in adult males, grows much longer, curving
round to form 3/4 of a complete arc and tapering to relatively slender
points.
The record horn from Pakistan measured
140cm (55 inches) and came from Gilgit. It had a basal girth of 26.5cm
(10.5 inches) and a gap of 63.5cm (25 inches) between tips and certainly
in Gilgit a head with horns over this length would be considered an
exceptionally good trophy.
Confined to relatively arid mountain
ranges of the inner Himalyas, living well above the tree line only in
the higher more precipitous regions. They occur from about 3660m (12,000
feet) to over 5000m (16400 feet) in Pakistan, though they sometimes
migrate from one mountain range to another in winter and in so doing
have been seen crossing vallies below 2135m (7000feet)

Himalayan
Ibex |
They are fairly wide spread through the
higher mountain ranges of Baltistan in the Karakoram Range, the Haramosh
range, and the probably the highest population of Ibex now survives in
Northern Hunza, specially in the water shed of Khunjerab, and to the
east of Khunjerab. In Gilgit, they are still fairly plentiful in
Ishkoman, Yasin and Hunza. Further west they occur in the Hindukush
range of mountains and throughout Northern Chitral down to about 32
kilometers north of Chitral and in the higher mounain regions of Chilas
and on the slopes of Malika Parbat. Saphaid Koh range in the North West
Frontier Province and this is the southern most limit of its range. This
is a smaller animal than the Himalayan Ibex.
Himalayan Ibex has a wider distribution
and is plentiful and its future survival is not so threatened in
Pakistan largely due to the inaccessibility of its haitat provided by
the very extensive concentration of very high mountain ranges in the
extreme north western regions. Baltistan and Hunza are undoubtedly the
strong holds of the Himalayan Ibex in the region today. In the early
spring the Ibex are half starved and eagerly seek new sprouting grass
when it is available at lower milder elevations. This is the only time
when they descend as low as 2450m (800 feet) and are thus much easier to
hunt.
