Ibex of the recess

On the right hand wall of the Recess of the Bears are two representations of ibex. The first is a male turned to the left whose great semi-circular horns, and the rear part of the line of the back, are depicted by relatively deep natural fissures. The remainder of the body has been rapidly drawn in red ochre. The identical style of the second (red lines and fissures), located below the first, make us inclined us to identify it as an ibex even though it is less clearly identifiable.
