Ice sheets during glacial maxima in the Alps and Pyreneesisolated chamois populations, resulting in genetic differentiation, but during climatic oscillations, there were population contractions, expansions, and hybridization. The Pyrenean Chamois is genetically related to the Abruzzi Chamois (

Horns of males have a greater horn basal girth. The tips of the horns hook sharply backward and downward. General body color of the Pyrenean Chamois is dark brown in winter. A dark mid-dorsal stripe is present. Top of head and throat are paler in color, as are the shoulders, back of the lower neck, and rump. A dark stripe extends from the base of the horns to the eyes and muzzle. Diploid chromosome numberis 58.

The Pyrenean Chamois occurs at elevations of 1000-2800 m on or near steep rocky terrain in alpine and subalpine zones, principally ecotones between forested habitats and montane meadows. In summer, they usually seek the highest meadows to avoid domestic livestock and seem to prefer open habitats where availability of forbs and graminoids is greater. In one studysite, chamois entered forested areas to spend the night. They descend to forested habitats in winter. Groups preferred elevations of 2100-2300 m in June and of 1700-2100 m in November, avoiding elevations higher than

. Mean groupsize in forested habitats was 2-27 and 5-88 in open habitats. In the south-western Pyrenees in Spain, chamois occurred principally in mountain pine forests and clearcuts and rarely in beech (Fagus

The Pyrenean Chamois eats primarily graminoids and forbs in summer and browse in winter. Females tend to favor forbs. Browse in winter can constitute as much as 72% of diets and graminoids in summer up to 66-4%.

Males form harems. Mating is in November-December. Parturition occurs in May-June. Gestation lasts 165-175 days. Twinning has not been recorded. Females first give birth at age 2-3; 77% of females reproduced at age two; 80% of three-yearolds reproduced; 96% between four and eleven years reproduced in any one year. Only 77% of females older than twelve years of age gave birth in any one year. Prime age of reproduction of females is 4-11 years. Summer kid—female ratios can be as high as 72 kids:100 females. Longevity is about 16 years for females and eleven years for males. During the parturition period in the south-western Pyrenees in Spain, females were concentrated at elevations of 1600-2000 m. None were found below

The Pyrenean Chamois is usually diurnal and most active during mornings and afternoons during summer. In a study area where they occurred with domestic sheep, herds of female chamois with kids primarily foraged in the morning and evening and rested at midday. Domestic sheep foraged mainly during the afternoon and at lower elevation than chamois. Sheep and chamois herds grazed at a mean distance of

Mean group size was 11-7, in November mean group size was 8-2; the largest group observed was 82. There was a high rate of interchange of individuals between herds. Males were seldom alone. In June, the majority of males were found in unisexual groups with a mean size offive.
