Audioguide
The Alpine ibex is said to be the king of the Alps. This is certainly also due to its outstanding climbing skills. The ibex’s hooves are perfectly adapted to its habitat. Ibex belong to the goat genus, and are cloven hoofed animals. Their hooves are split into two toes, called claws. The claws can be moved independently and shifted against each other. The hard outer shell of the claws consists of horn, which enables the ibex to hook onto smallest rock ledges. Within the shell, ibex have soft pads which adhere to the irregular underground. This is how Alpine ibex find a secure hold on sharp rocks and steep slopes. Furthermore, ibex have short and strong legs, allowing them to jump far with a single leap. The hind legs are longer than the forelegs, which makes it easy for ibex to stand on steep slopes and to walk uphill. Alpine ibex’ climbing skills are innate, with ibex fawns only a few days old being able to climb like pros.
