The incredible ibex defies gravity and climbs a dam
Ibex climb near-vertical dams because they need salt and minerals that are scarce in their normal diet. Water leaking or evaporating on dam walls leaves salty mineral deposits, which attract them. Despite the high risk of falling, the nutritional benefit outweighs the danger, so they’ve adapted strong hooves and balance to handle these extreme surfaces.
