Comments: Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) in Salzburg Zoo (Salzburg, Austria).

 

Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) is now totally unknown in western Asia, where it very probably never existed. The opinion of those who see it in the Hebrew zémér (זֶמֶר - Strongs: H2169, Deuteronomy 14:5) should consequently be entirely discarded (see § Camelopardalis).
