[The estimation of the age of the female ibex (Capra ibex ibex L.) by skeletal development].
In female ibex up to an age of six years, a sufficiently accurate age determination can be made based on the degree of skeletal ossification and length of the bones (s. Table 2). Definitive ossification of the epiphyseal discs with the body of the vertebrae in the female ibex is not complete at end of the growth period. Observations with regard to sex-related dimorphism of the skeleton will not be possible until corresponding investigations have been carried out on the buck.
