Psalms 104:18  (King James Version)
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
 


the wild goats
The {yl,} is the ibex, or rock goat, so called from {lah,} to ascend, because it is famous for mounting to the tops of the highest rocks. Its general appearance is that of the tame goat, of a dusky brown colour; but the male is larger, with long horns, bending backwards.
1 Samuel 24:2 ; Job 39:1

the conies
Deuteronomy 14:7 ; Proverbs 30:26
