Wonderful Wildlife

Mujib's sandstone cliffs are an ideal habitat for one of the most beautiful mountain goats in the World, the horned Ibex. The natural Ibex herds had declined because of over-hunting in easily accessible areas, causing the Royal Society for Conserve Nature (RSCN) to set up a captive-breeding program for Ibex in the Mujib reserve.

Mujib is also the home of carnivorous species such as the Caracal; a medium-sized cat distinguished by it's black-and-white ear tufts. An agile and powerful hunter, the Caracal spotted in action in the rocky valley of Mujib, using it's jumping power to catch airborne prey.
