Abstract
A total of forty Spanish ibex were captured in free conditions after d arting with Immobilon(R)/Revivon(R). All sexes and age classes were in jected with the same dose (1.2 cc.). Induction times ranged from 3.2 t o 5.8 min, for males and from 2.1 to 5.2 min. for females. Recovery ti mes ranged from 4.1 to 8.0 min. for males and from 1.3 to 5.1 min. for females. This report demonstrates that Immobilon is useful for field immobilization of Spanish Ibex.
