Thank you Lori, yes indeed, you can feel this dertimination in the behavior too... but right after, nothing.
It's the eye that really gets me in your first photo. Such determination.
Thank you James!

BEAUTIFUL PICTURE
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Thank you. I didn't last long, but it was impressive.
Horns locked. That's brutal confrontation.
ha ha ha, so true....fab shot! Can't praise it enough...like ballet or something.
Thank you Sukanya! I'm glad you like it.
Who knew ibexes were in fact walking on two feet?... :)
The third photo is....well, I am speechless!
Thank you Marta and Desmond!
That's Absolutely incredible!
Nice moment!
I think so... but the oldest of the group didn't participate.
Did the older one win?
Thank you Daniele :) I wish the focus didn<t occur on the background, but on the standing ibexes :/
Another day maybe!
Stunning :-)
