Alpine Ibex |

||||||
| Famous for its surefootedness in steep, rocky terrain, the Alpine ibex is one of four species of mountain goat in the genus Capra. The Alpine ibex was on the brink of extinction from overhunting and habitat destruction in the early 20th century, but is now protected and rebuilding herd populations in Italy’s Gran Paradiso National Park and other European wildlife preserves. | ||||||
