In this stunning photograph, a group of European Ibex gracefully navigate the snow-covered mountainside in Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy. The European Ibex, also known as the Alpine Ibex or Capra ibex, is a majestic mammal native to the European Alps and the Carpathian Mountains. These sure-footed creatures are well-adapted to living in rugged and steep terrain, making their home in the highest and most remote areas. The European Ibex in this image are huddled together for warmth and protection against the harsh winter elements. Their thick, curved horns not only serve as a means of defense against predators, but also help them to maintain their balance on the slippery mountain slopes. Gran Paradiso National Park, located in the western Italian Alps, is a haven for a variety of wildlife, including the European Ibex. Established in 1922, it is Italy's oldest national park and is home to a diverse range of habitats, from alpine meadows and forests to rocky cliffs and glaciers. This breathtaking photograph, taken by renowned wildlife photographer Stefan Meyers, captures the raw beauty and resilience of the European Ibex in their natural habitat. The snow and ice add an ethereal quality to the scene, making it a truly captivating image.
