Abstract
Observations made in European zoos lead to the conclusion that the facial markings on the ‘bleating ibex’ and the ibexes on the alabaster boat from Tutankhamun's tomb are representative of the wild bezoar goat or Syrian ibex, Capra aegagrus. Previous arguments that the markings represented those of the dorcas gazelle or an artist's confusion between facial patterns of domestic goats and gazelles are abandoned.
