Description[]
Various species of chamois occur naturally from the Pyrenees, through the mountains of southern and central Europe, to Turkey and the Caucasus. Introduced into New Zealand, they were a gift from the Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria. Primarily diurnal in activity, they often rest around midday and may actively forage during moonlit nights. Their summer coats varies from grey-brown to tan and honey tones. They are much darker in winter, becoming almost black. The chamois is a challenging hunt, possessing extremely keen senses.
