Hi Margaret! I was raised in Alaska, and was fortunate enough to also visit Switzerland. In Switzerland I saw Chamois, a sort of antelope/goat cross with short horns.

There are no Chamois in Alaska, although there are several wild sheep and goat species. Perhaps what you thought were Chamois were sheep? If you posted a picture, I would be able to help identify what you did see.

Thanks for you post! I live in Oregon now, and must confess that there are times when I miss Alaska very much. Your pics brought back happy memories.
