Springtime Shenanigans - Alpine Ibex Bulls Get Their Groove Back!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the mischievous side of Alpine Ibex bulls as they emerge from a long winter in the high mountains. The harsh cold has left them looking somewhat disheveled, with their unkempt coats and weakened frames. But fear not! These resilient creatures are on a mission to regain their strength. Grazing lazily amidst breathtaking scenery in Aosta Valley, Italy, these free-spirited goats-turned-antelopes have one goal in mind – fatten up for summer! With hunger driving them forward, they navigate steep slopes and changing cliffs with ease, showcasing their impressive agility. Their magnificent horns serve as both a symbol of power and an essential tool for survival. As they munch on fresh grasses and rest under the warm sun, these ibex bulls transform into visionaries of vitality. Captured by Martin Zwick in Gran Paradiso National Park on January 22nd, 2009 (not that you're counting), this Ardea Picture Library gem transports us to a world where seasonal transformations bring out the playful nature hidden within even the shaggiest mountain dwellers. So next time you find yourself feeling etiolated like these alpine beauties after a long winter's nap - just remember - spring is here to tousle your coat and rejuvenate your spirit!
