Ibex

The ibex is a large wild goat. Males of the species are called Ibex rams and have large rounded horns and a darker brown color, while females are called ibex does and have shorter, straighter horns and a lighter brown color.

Taming

Ibex can be tamed wild from temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, cold bogs, or tundra, 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.

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
