EDITORS COMMENTS
Nubian Ibex in the Giza Zoo, Egypt (Circa 1908) The Nubian ibex, a majestic and elusive goat species native to the deserts of Egypt and Sudan, is captured in this vintage photograph taken at the Giza Zoo in Egypt. Established in 1891 on the orders of Khedive Ismail, the Giza Zoo was one of the earliest zoological gardens in Africa and remains a vital conservation center for endangered species and native fauna. The Nubian ibex, scientifically known as Capra ibex nubiana, is a unique and distinctive species of goat. With their curved horns, thick coats, and agile bodies, they are perfectly adapted to the harsh desert environment. Unfortunately, their populations have been declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and other threats. This photograph, taken circa 1908, offers a glimpse into the past when the Nubian ibex could still be found in the wild and in captivity. The Giza Zoo, which has been a refuge for many endangered species over the years, continues to play a crucial role in the conservation of the Nubian ibex and other endemic fauna. The Giza Zoo, located in the heart of Egypt, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the region and the importance of preserving it for future generations. This photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and uniqueness of the Nubian ibex and the need to protect them and their habitat.
