Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Watch daredevil goats defying gravity
The safest place on earth is where no predator can follow. Antarctica, for example, where temperatures go way below zero allows no animal or birds that hunt penguins. For that safety, poor penguins must endure severe and long winter standing to keep their eggs warm.
What about near-vertical wall or cliff where no other animals can walk or stand? That’s where Alpine ibex live. They were spotted on the wall of a man-made dam walking and licking the concrete for salt.
Interestingly, they were females and their young but no male ibex. Are male ibex afraid of heights?
Enjoy seeing the video and reading the article to find an extreme life of Alpine ibex.
