Just recieved news that the Ethiopians have changed their National Football Mens team from the Walya Antelopes to the Walya Ibex in preparation for their October 13 clash with the Nigerias Super Eagles. The walia ibex (Capra walie, Ge'ez: ዋልያ wālyā) is an endangered species of ibex. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Alpine ibex . Threats against the species
include habitat loss, poaching, and restricted range; only
about 500 individuals survived
in the mountains of Ethiopia , concentrated in the Semien Mountains, largely due to past poaching and habitat
depletion. If the population
were to increase, the
surrounding mountain habitat
would be sufficient enough to
sustain only 2,000 ibex. The adult walia ibex's only
known wild predator is the hyena . However, young ibex are often hunted by a variety
of fox and cat species. The ibex are members of the goat
family, and the walia ibex is
the southernmost of today's
ibexes. In the late 1990s, the
walia ibex went from
endangered to critically endangered due to the
declining population. The
walia ibex is also known as
the Abyssinian ibex. I wonder how an endangered species will be a threat to the Eagles.
