They are very tolerant of environmental extremes from desert mountains in searing heat to windy and cold slopes. They are usually found near cliffs and similar escape cover, but avoid entering forested areas. The mixture of sheeplike and goatlike traits have created confusion about the evolutionary relationships of this species. They are probably goats with sheeplike traits (lacking beards and calluses on the knees, have no strong body odor and the females have small, almost nonfunctional horns, all characters typical of sheep) (animaldiversity.org).
