An Ibex Climbing a Dam Wall Freaks Me Out

They want salt, so badly they seemingly defy gravity.

I wonder if camera angles are exploited to make these slopes seem more severe.

  1. I don’t like heights nor looking over sheer vertical walls or cliffs or off the tops of very tall buildings, they scare the shit out of me. The reason I’m told that you see so many dead roadkill porcupines alongside the road during warm months is because they lick the residual salt leftover from salting the roads during the Winter, they come down to the road to lick the salt and they get run over by cars and trucks.

  2. I’ll be. I thought Ibex was just the name of a brand of merino wool clothing. Nice stuff, but pricey. Anyway, looks like the four footed critter could challenge a world class trials motorcycle rider, such as Toni Bou or Adam Raga, for defying gravity.

    Holy Bible – 1 Corinthians 1:27
    “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;..”

    God designed the ibex to seek out salt deposits on steep man made walls and natural cliffs to prove He is the Master Creator Engineer, Mathematician, Designer the list goes on.

    How boring it would be watching these magnificent creatures just stand around licking salt blocks for their nutrition – not fullfilling their purpose as mind-boggling, death defying, acrobatic cliff climbers.
