Look closely at the walls of the Diga del Cingino dam in Italy, at the small brown dots that line the grainy surface. They are European Ibex and they live in these remarkable gravity defying surrounds, eating the moss and lichen and licking the salt off the dam wall.

If you want to read further on the Ibex that live in the Negev desert near Eilat, Israel, you would find the following book fascinating: “High Hills and Wild Goats: Life Among the Animals of the Hai-Bar Wildlife Refuge” by Bill Clark. You can read a short book summary here: http://www.melbabooks.com/misc/wildgoats.html
