I wondered how you got so close and then I looked at your website and saw the really big lens you use. Thanks for sharing, we don’t see the wildlife of the Pyrenees that often, sadly it is under threat like the rest of the natural world.

So very different from the mountain goats and bighorn sheep here in the US. Nice sharp photo–you must climb like a goat yourself! Your website is great–en francais.

Found this animal in a Bible verse and then did a google search to see an image of one, since I had never heard of one! It was this page I clicked into. What a great image. The verse is
Deu 14:5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
I obviously have a few more animals from the verse to look up as well! God’s Creation is amazing & wonderful!
I am a mother of 3 teens & an extra teen we are helping w/sobriety at this time. As a family event…we attend our local Photo Club & especially enjoy learning & winning in local events! An expensive hobby, but satisfying.
