Female and young males, till their second winter, are yellowish-brown varying to reddish-grey with a darker brown mid-dorsal line extending from between the shoulders to the base of the tail.

Mature males are spectacularly beautiful, with long sweeping scimitar shaped horns over 102 cm (40 in) in length and almost silver white bodies offset by a sooty grey chest, throat and face.

The belly and outside of the lower limbs, beard and forepart of the face vary from black to deep chestnut-brown in mature males.

Wild goats have a wonderful sense of balance and can make a standing leap 1.75 m (5–6 ft) upwards on a seemingly vertical rock surface.

Its habitats include the Kirthar mountains, which falls in the southern Sindh and southwestern Balochistan provinces, and the adjoining areas of Makran.
