Chamois

Chamois are medium-sized antelopes found in mountainous regions of Europe, Asia and New Zealand. They are agile and strong climbers and are known for their keen eyesight, which allows them to spot predators from a distance. Chamois are typically brown in color, with a light-colored face and white underbelly, and have a distinctive black stripe running down the middle of their back.
