PYRENEAN CHAMOIS
The Pyrenean Chamois is found in the Pyrenees, which is the physical border between Spain and France. It constitutes a natural barrier separating both countries, whose consequences are also found in the nature giving different climates or different species to the rest of Europe. This limit made two different Chamois in Spain: the Pyrenean and the Cantabrian. When comparing both of them, we note that the first one clearly is bigger than the second one, as it can reach up to 40 kg. (90 lb.), which is about a 30% bigger than the Cantabrian. By other hand, the horns are also thicker and normally some longer. This statement is well represented when scoring both species. In this way, a regular medal Cantabrian Chamois in CIC scale is just a representative Pyrenean Chamois trophy.
