Ibex
Ibex
"The wild ancestor of the domesticated goat. Ibexes live on marginal territory where most antelopes couldn't survive, eating lichens and sparse mountain plants. They're famous for dextrously hopping across bare cliff faces - and for their violent ramming attack."

Melee Combat
The ibex is a large wild goat. Males of the species are called Ibex rams and have large rounded horns, while females are called ibex does and have shorter, straighter horns.
Taming
Ibex can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship.
Analysis
When slaughtered, an ibex yields 31 meat and 16 leather as a baby; 70 meat and 25 as a juvenile; or 140 meat and 40 leather as an adult.
An adult ibex doe consumes 0.32 nutrition per day. If her offspring are slaughtered immediately, an ibex doe produces 0.27 nutrition of meat per day, giving a nutrition efficiency of 0.856. If the offspring are allowed to grow to adulthood before they are slaughtered, they will consume an additional 0.45 nutrition per day, but will instead yield 1.24 nutrition per day as they are slaughtered, resulting in a nutrition efficiency of 1.613. When considering a population of equal numbers of ibex rams and does, these nutrition efficiencies fall to 0.428 for baby slaughter and 1.138 for adult slaughter.
The ibex is placed as the single most efficient animal to farm that is slaughtered as adults, as it is superior to Horses, Gazelles and Cows. Chickens slaughtered as chicks are potentially more efficient, but they are significantly more work-intensive to slaughter and butcher, and do not yield any leather. Tortoises are even more nutritionally efficient than ibexes, but require either much more work to maintain their tameness, or careful micromanagement so that they are always slaughtered just before they run wild.
