Incredible!

When I was in the Gran Paradiso area, back in 1986, I saw a lot of ibexes, particularly around the rifugio Vittorio Sella, but never herds of them such as this!

wow ! Never seen an Ibex and I think I'll never see a troop like this !!
One of them seems particularly big in the middle.

Re: Incredible!

Yes, it really was. But since there were dogs running around, I think they were domesticated or at least artifically introduced :)

Re: Incredible!

:) ... but those from Mt. Lachat are 100% wild. There was a group of 10 very big ibexes passing by our tents.
