Survival on the edge: the perilous first steps of baby ibex
In short: Watch the incredible struggle of newborn ibex as they navigate steep mountain slopes. This footage captures the high-stakes moment when a hungry fox stalks a vulnerable calf during its first descent.
The video explores the immense difficulties young animals face when learning to find food and evade predators. Beyond the ibex, the program follows the development of various species, including polar bear cubs in the high Arctic, mountain gorillas in Uganda, and tiger cubs in India, documenting the essential skills required to survive the transition from infancy to independence.
