      @PossumRoach Yes, thank you. I wasn't sure what it was and thought it looked similar to a paca so I listed it as a cavy.

      i think the ibex could be a walia ibex.

      According to the musuems database the only mounted ibex skin is an Iberian ibex. Yet the location it was collected from is listed as Masai, Tanzania. Which wouldn't make too much sense. So likely the record is flawed. Potentially this collection happened so long ago that the understanding of the species or name has changed.

      I know almost all specimens in this hall were not previously mounted, so this skin very well may have been in the collection storage for years.
