    Where did the Caprinae live?
    The Caprinae were excluded from the Eurasian lowland habitats by the dominant Cervidae (deer), but were able to fill a specific niche in alpine habitats. The prevalence of mountains throughout Europe and Asia provided the perfect setting for the rapid evolution of the Caprinae during the late Miocene.

    Why are Caprinae so successful?
    Their success is due to a generalized form with specializations for montane habitats, a combination which confers flexibility within the alpine biome. The Caprinae tend to be medium-sized ungulates, with a compact form, thick legs, a sure-footed nature, and tolerance of extremes in temperature which occur in mountainous environments.
