A cross-breed between Bezoar ibex and domestic goat, what we call Hybrid ibex has recently been recognized as a subspecies by both Grand Slam Ovis Club and Safari Club International, but counts only through Capra super 20.

Hybrid goat occupies several different localities of only one district of Turkey and share the same habitat with Bezoar ibex in some areas. Nevertheless, they also live in completely isolated populations.

Despite of the fact that there is no uniformity to describe hybrid specimens, distinct features that differentiate hybrid from Bezoar is their big, floppy ears and comparatively longer hair on their body. However, the most prominent difference may be the form of the horns which may flare out distinctively.
