Alpine ibex

The Alpine ibex, also known as the steinbock, bouquetin, or simply ibex, is a species of wild goat that lives in the mountains of the European Alps.

Photography by © (Jonas Schäfer). The trademark of the alpine ibex, its imposing and curved horns. The headdress of these unique animals continues to grow annually and can weigh up to 20kg. The age of the animal can be determined from the grooves. The Alpine ibex belongs to the Bovidae family. I photographed the mighty alpine ibex in the Bernese Oberland. To meet ibexes in the wild is always a unique experience. ZdoRodZ

We had a lot of light so shooting was just a blast. shot this with a 400mm lens at f2.8. That lens is a beast to carry around since it weighs over 10 pounds. My shoulders were sore after carrying it around for a couple of hours. Each picture in this set was shot with the 400mm so it is a fairly versatile lens.

The higher elevations of the European Alps and east to Central China are the ideal places to find the Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex). It is very social, forming male, female, juvenile, and mixed-sex groupings. Other communities call it the Ibex, steinbock, or bouquetin. Males are larger than females with large, curved horns.
