The Chamois
It is found in the mountain-ranges of Southern Europe and in Asia Minor. Owing to its wariness and activity it was attractive game and a challenge to hunters.
The species was introduced to New Zealand. They thrived to the point where it almost considered being a pest.

Rupicapra rupicapra
A species of antelope, and a native of Western Europe and Asia. It is not much larger than a goat, lives in mountainous regions, and possesses wonderful leaping power and is extremely agile, so that is very difficult to capture. Its flesh is much esteemed, and from its skin the beautiful chamois leather is made. The color of this leather is a yellowish beige. I thought the Chamois was a cloth to polish a car?
