ITT we post animals with their horns.
Horns are the coolest things animals have.
My favorites are Markhors:

Look at this. Magnificent. I wish I was a markhor.
Ibexes are also cool.
Yay markhors! They're funny creatures to see in person. Little bit like mountain goats in personality but less shy. They will come right up to the fence to investigate you and stare in to your soul with their rectangular pupils.
Here's a photo I took of a male and female at my local zoo earlier this year.

and one of the females.
zoo has Ibex too but only young ones at the moment. none have the massive horns that ibex can eventually grow out.

Thanks for the photo.
Markhors definitely have the coolest horns.

Also, something that isn't really clear from photos of markhors is size. These guys are little. I'm 6'1" and standing next to them, their shoulder height is about level with my knees, maybe just a bit higher for the male. So like 2-2.5 feet at the shoulder.
Japanese serow have pretty cool horns too. They're small horns but very devilish. Neat texture on them near the base.
Serow move weird. It's like half goat half cat.

Antlers allowed? I wish since I was a kid every year that I could have antlers, so I can be a deer and have antlers. I love mule deer
Why are horns so beautiful?

Really? Markhor feet are different though. They walk with the heel part behind the hoof for traction on uneven terrain. That girl was up on top of a 15 foot pile of rocks in the photo.

Nice.
I can't look at Bighorn sheep without hearing the Wild America theme in my head...

Hooves aren't suppose to curl like that. They would naturally get grinded down in the wild but they don't travel far in a zoo so her hooves need to be trimmed and filed down. Goats walk on their tip toes and need the grip.

I've seen videos of rams headbutting each other on a rocky hillslope. Intense. Could break a rock.
Excuse me Sir, do you have a moment to talk about Our Lord Satan?
