so Ibexes are european "mountain goats", and are true goats, but "mountain goats", are american mountain goats and not goats. Okay. Fuck your english. All my mountain goats are goats.

So yall basically decided that since your fake goat was already named "mountain goat", all the actual mountain goats in europe couldn't be names as such and used a weird ass name for them. Goooot it.

Looking it up, the "ibex" name comes from them being from the iberian peninsula, which is true for some of them but there's goats in every mountain, not only in the iberian peninsula... Shame.... Shame.
