The rolling hills and forests are a haven for desert wolves, leopards, striped hyena, wild sheep, the rare Sindh ibex and the imperial eagle. |
Most numerous are ibex, of which there are twelve carvings, followed by horses, aurochs and other bovines, deer, and mammoths. |
The archaeologists last week unearthed engravings of a bison, another ibex, part of a horse and some triangular shapes. |
Most of the panels include motifs of animals, principally aurochs, horse, ibex, and red deer. |
The walia ibex exist only in or near the miniature Simen Mountains National Park. |
At the top is an Ovis Amman, then two markhoors, an ibex, and two Tibetan antelope. |
