Episode 5 : Le Bouquetin – Version anglaise

Did you know that the Alpine ibex nearly went extinct in the 19th century ? Due to intensive hunting, only around a hundred individuals survived. Now protected, this large herbivore is perfectly adapted to life on rocky cliffs thanks to its adhesive hooves and exceptional sense of balance. Despite this recovery, the species remains fragile, especially in winter, when any disturbance results in a critical loss of energy.

To discover the unique history and way of life of this survivor, listen to the fifth episode of our podcast, produced by the Compagnie du Mont-Blanc in collaboration with ASTERS.
