Fox is the predator that chases the baby ibex.
Vertiginous slopes keep ibex families safe from predators, but they need to descend to flat ground to drink, and this brings them in contact with a fox.
The Nubian ibex is a desert-dwelling goat species found in mountainous areas of northern and northeast Africa, and the Middle East. It was historically considered to be a subspecies of the Alpine ibex, but is now considered a distinct species
The wild population is estimated at 4,500 mature individuals, and it is classified as vulnerable.
