Chamois – a symbol of the Pyrenees

n nature, there are several species of chamois that are very similar to each other. Therefore, all of them are called a rupicapra (or rupicapra) from Latin “stone goat” (“chèvre des rochers”). This is a species of chamois of Asian origin. It appeared between 250,000 to 400,000 years ago. However, depending on the habitat of the chamois, there are differences in structure, color, anatomy and behaviour. In France, there are three species of rupicapra: Alpine chamois (rupicapra rupicapra), Carthusian chamois (rupicapra cartusiana) and Pyrenean chamois (rupicapra pyrenaïca). More
