    We have similar ones in Nigiris mountains in Ooty. Amazing how they balance themselves.

    What a realistic zoo enclosure, it gives a feeling of their natural environment. I like the photo where one seems to be threatening the other with its horns.

      Thank you, Hannah! I think their enclosure is great. They were testing each other, but it wasn't really a fight.

    Amazing how animals like the ibex can clamour up and down steep rocky landscapes.
    I like the bonding activity in the second and third photos.
