I actually know what it is now. I looked it up on Wikipedia. I was wondering how many other people had to as well.

Aw, man, leave poor Rick Astley alone. I like that song. But watching the video ... wow, he can't dance. Looks like someone dressed the chess club dork up in shades and told them to just sort of "act like you know how to dance."

Sadly, this thread is now derailed from "what's an Ibex" to "let's post the dumbest rick-rolls".

Sorry, that never gets old. And I didn't know what an Ibex was either, or a Heron for that matter.

ive always loved goats but the pic of the ibex on wikipedia looks so badass... his beard makes him look wise and his horns make him look deadly.

an awesome combination.

without looking, i'd imagine it's a small Antelope type animal. Possibly from Africa?

We should have releases involving Pandas and Kangaroos (my favorite).

Ibis is a bird.

Ibex is an antelope.

You get to learn these things when you've been watching David Attenborough since before you could talk.
