The Amazing Survival Abilities Of The Ibex

[rayn1988]

I'm glad BBC still makes quality content like this. I never see anything like this on the Discovery channel like I used to in the mid 1990's. Bravo 5 stars. It reminds me of "Wild Discovery" show I used to watch as a kid that was cancelled for more compelling intellectually worthless shows that cater to US's stupidity. Like Mythbusters, Man vs. Wild, American Chopper, and Dirty Jobs. All that rubbish that isn't worth anything. This is coming from a US citizen too.

seven foxes not like this video

[GibbonOfHealth]

@RVFootbsll7 Ditto! I wish i could be an immortal ibex!

3:38 IT'S A TRAP!

[gantonski]

alan becker brought me here.

[kankasixxx]

That's gonna be one tough ibex when it grows up

[OstrichMan4000]

Ibexes have intense ninja skills. This is proof.

[bvim75]

magic the gathering

[jebidi117]

[ChrisK513]

swiper no swiping lol

[IcyScythe]

it's so weird just looking at a goat you wouldn't think it was this agile

[mikemanukian]

don't forget the ibex are going head first

[soulrebelgenius]

5 people are afraid of heights.

[AndyPeanutz]

the ibex should of taken some chalk draw a shape of an mp5k on the wall and try to buy it.

[Animontius]

that baby ibex made Bear Grylls look like a chump.

[tdlob1]

The Ibex, natures rock-climbing badass.

[starrodkirby1]

These things are wierd

If you argue with them they spit and go WRUAAAAAAAAAH!

[ronbronb]

It's unfortunate that cities growth force these animals out of the habitats and into these dangerous desert conditions. Foxes and Abex struggle for food. I wonder what would happen if humans were forced to live in those clifs by animals, ever thought about that?

[Drawtaru]

@ronbronb Those animals have lived in those conditions for eons. No one forced them there. Life exists even in the harshest conditions.

[knaan163]

how the fuck do they get up there in the first place - i'm sure this was explained on the show but I can't remember it

[gamesrule910]

4.40 bugger.....

[TheBjkozzy]

I rate that ibex

[kelloggs1986]

i did all kinds of shit like that when i was only a week old

[filipha]

goat parkour

[LieutenantIDan]

OH GOD THE BABY IBEXES ARE SO CUTE JESUS CHRIST.

[Sjshrks]

Amazing animal

[winterka100]

They jump down a 2 million foot cliff,get to the bottom."At last we're safe".Talk about extreme sport.

[ravingdave900]

david attenborough cannot be replaced

[iamapenmushee]

Awesome stuff

[adeadlybeastkiller]

altiair ,ezio, and desmend dont got nothin on an ibex

[DjSteveMcgrath]

That first ibex looks like Jeff Goldblum!

[pasnowqueen]

mafiouso, if you don't like animals or nature, why watch this? Macho gunslinger!

[MRiBANGEDYOURMOM]

gave that ibex a mountain. ibexes love mountains

[dmabin]

ladder goat is real, you ARE so crazy!

[LaurenRanga9409]

That Ibex is a fucking champ!

[PapaWilk]

Those ibex look cute but they must run on adrenaline!

[otti611]

israel!!

[Ashikun]

Don't forget it's amazing arguing skills.

[cooldood42]

omg thats hardcorethose animals are crazy I would of never known about theses amazign creatures if I hadnt watch 4 kids react video.

[choanx]

young ibex at the end. "i haz pwned ya n00b"

fox *runs away*

[deeemn]

3:19 wtf

[al1k0wy]

@deeemn crouching tiger hidden dragon :D

[DRUMMAGEEE]

hahahaha that fox feels stupid

[TMM098]

Four-legged animals should not have that kind of balance, it's insane.

[hagenar]

Makes humans look even more lame in comparison.

[TheMOONTHECAT]

GENIAL 

[eggdingfly]

These ibex's need to learn the laws of physics...

[deangmoxon]

the kid is hot tonight !

[FurryExtraordinaire]

woot go ibex

[Innomen]

If there was ever an animal that needed to be modeled for robotics right there it is. I'm pretty sure a vehicle based on that system of mobility would make short work of anything in the human world in terms of obstacles.

[GamerConnection]

Sony Vs Hackers

[ensittare]

Seeing these amazing abilities that animals have is truly humbling.

Not to mention that the ibex is so cute!

[iRobii]

The next OS for Mac

Mac OS 11 Alpine Ibex

[wolfy9005]

@iRobii No. apple is fail, Ibex's aren't

[ston3pony]

Imagine a human being letting their one-month-old baby try and make it down that cliff face on it's own. Imagine it...

[hirnlego]

@ston3pony I did, I lold, thanks

[EyeLiek2Fish]

@ston3pony I did. I lol'd.

[megatrollwarlock]

@ston3pony Unfair comparison. Human babies are born premature. More like a 2 year-old.

[MrTroll652]

@ston3pony i do, but im spider man

[dandashem]

@ston3pony

"SPLAT"

[gertaarz]

@ston3pony imagin an adult human doing this shit

[taylor1212eminem]

fucking campers

[mushroomcloudy]

God, David Attenborough is a jillion times better than Oprah Winfrey.

[aronchai]

Gad, why is everything in slow motion?

[mafiouso]

watched and i was hoping one would fall to its death

[Larzabeth]

@mafiouso Why don't you try it and have somebody video you falling to your death so we can all watch?

[mafiouso]

@Larzabeth funny the logic in saying the same thing as i said and replacing it with a human, and yes im sure lotssssssss of people would watch. derr.

[Larzabeth]

@mafiouso There is nothing funny about it. I would prefer to watch a cruel human fall to his death than an innocent animal.

[piklet]

@Larzabeth

You are insane

[LarsCreations]

@mafiouso

serious ?

[mafiouso]

@LarsCreations Your tree hugging fag, a rifle would sort out those climbing skills.

[KurtVachon]

@mafiouso yeah, an adult ibex would not be stopped with a rifle shot. Also, you couldnt get there on your two dumb legs.

[mafiouso]

@KurtVachon ..well retard. yes a bullet from a rifle WOULD stop any animal. and its a rifle you dickhead you dont have to climb up you aim and shoot most rifles have a easy range 500-800m good shooter. so how about u shut the fuck up.

[Daltonator87]

@mafiouso take away your rifle, THEN WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE

[mafiouso]

@Daltonator87 take away my rifle and what do i have?? my hands and legs, my brain, the ability to adapt, to abseil and climb. sounds like your quoting that a ibex is more amazing then a human being, if so you are one stupid salad eating dickersucker. get a ibex to made and shoot a rifle at 800m. then ill be impressed. DICKHEAD

[Daltonator87]

@mafiouso well there is quite a bit more to life than rifles. And not to say that I think ibex are more amazing than humans, but how exactly would that make me a "salad eating dickersucker"? And all people were saying about this video is how amazing it is that an ibex can do such great and daring leaps at such steep heights with little fear. Intellectually, humans of course have the upper hand, but a lot of species in the world are just plain awesome in certain abilities relative to humans.

[mafiouso]

@Daltonator87 "ibex are more amazing than humans" look if you rather fuck a ibex then a lady good for you. but you better learn how to fucken climb then.

[Daltonator87]

@mafiouso Such an act would be most unpleasant for both of us!

[GnosticAtheist]

Ibex climbing ability = maximum. 

[jeremyshin1]

i think they should build an elevator

[Xsoul2007]

3 dislikes? justin beiber's fans.

[mafiouso]

@Xsoul2007 wtf are you talking about dickhead

[Xsoul2007]

@mafiouso u talking to me ?

[mafiouso]

@Xsoul2007 yes i am, what the fuck has justin beiber's fans goto with this video you fucking fairy

[Xsoul2007]

@mafiouso u seems u didnt get the joke i guess, and ur a fan of him after all..lol

i was talking about the dislikes of this good video..

[mimoh20]

ibex kids are sooo cute :)

[bluegama500]

Wow the fox can climb pretty damn for an animal that's not made for climbing. It may not be as good a climber as the ibex but still much better than your average dog.

Btw, Ibex must be very smart. Not only did the young Ibex know it was a predator fro the first time but it outsmarted the fox.

[TonyFirelli]

Where's the dad? this animal is awesome I wish I could climb walls like that without equipment lol

[MzKeeko1]

how come the ibexes here look different from the ibex in the 'Arguing with Ibex' video.

[angieeus]

Amazing Video! Surviving is the word.

[koko4255]

أشهد أن لا اله الا الله وان محمدا رسول الله

[BesitzenDUBBED]

YEAH BOY!!!! That kid Ibex kicked the fox's ass.

[MrThunderlord84]

An ibex is an animal that earn my respect, to cross the cliffs the way they do is insane

[kikyo454]

For a second there I thought it was gonna die {•~•}

[st3vo12]

DAVID F'N ATTENBOROUGH IS MY HERO!!!!

[forkinator]

IBEX INA TREE LULZ!

[kalmah19090]

uhh nvm i finished watching and there fearless...lol 

[kalmah19090]

i feel bad for th kids who have to run down the cliffs...must scare them

[Zwartekaka]

Poor fox :)

[mafiouso]

@Zwartekaka dont worry his got his boys waiting at the bottom

[SadSmile87]

If life there is so hard why don't they just up and move...?

[MrJdog421]

after the ibex is on the sheer cliff the fox thought "damnit bad job...wait a sec...HOLY SHIT IM ON A FUCKING CLIFF"

[IwishIwasrogen]

poor fox, doomed to brief hunger

[Jokkkke]

Utterly amazing

[massman110]

whats a rock?

[AboDi22lalala]

I love the english narrators 

[pikk123]

Amazing :|

[A7X1ROLZ]

Oh that.. Is awesome.

[aechaech]

what makes a human, human? animals just seem to "get it" why can't we!? shake off what you've been taught here, remember where you came from and you will remember what you once knew, then you'll know where your headed, many paths but we all reach the same destination in the end, see you there!!

[decjestia]

that little ibex is lucky that wasnt a chimp, a chimp would out muscle and destroy it

[plumridge123]

FAKE

[reary123456]

@plumridge123 your fake u cunt go suck dicks lozer

[roxasroks]

@plumridge123 Meh, loser.

[EpicTKD]

Parkour

[Daltonator87]

@EpicTKD It is interesting how when we humans do parkour, it is typically recreational, (although it is freaking awesome when you actually get to use it in a real life scenario) while animals like this just call it survival.

[sedat3d]

Very Nice Little IBEX

[wyattpop]

at 4:51 i wouldve flipped that fox off

[rysoad]

they look like me when i play assassins creed

[Alexander1991]

Jackie Chan had sex with a deer, this is what followed...

[Celticwomanfanpiano]

Wow! Those poor creatures. It is a wonder they haven't migrated elsewhere.

[tharqal]

@Celticwomanfanpiano they are perfectly adapted to this life, and the harder the environment you live in is, the less competition you have for it.

[GarlandFraser]

Ibex's are the closest thing we get to mythical Creatures

[Erilis666]

just absolutely beautiful... it's such a shame humans are having wars around such amazing lands and creatures.

[starscreamthe7th]

Omg, those kids where cute, and their real smart, even for a week old!

[swizzbeats1212]

cute

[electrostatic1]

I don't like the cut scene at 4:59 ... they are showing the baby on a completely different rock to make it look like they had a side view of it on that cliff face when they didn't... I do not think that added anything, and it's kind of cheesy as it is no where near as steep as the actual cliff the ibex is on.

[emmanuel322]

@electrostatic1 yeah i noticed that too.

[crossjf24over]

what a nice video. .

[Boodabor]

I was wondering why this seemed more interesting than when I saw it on TV, then I realized it was a british guy doing the voice over instead of Opera.

[mw2beast318]

WHERES OPRA?!?!

[voidofambition]

Incredible.

[rhazthemaster]

This ibex is just ... and he is only 1 week old ?

[jamontoastst]

HAAAAAAAAAAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frenett1]

is it wierd to say that im in love with the ibex? xD

[sujoms]

@frenett1

you are not alone ;-D

[hecho142]

very impressive ...

[ciribro]

awesome and short

[juleshrpr]

LOVED it...wonderful video. I never really knew what an ibex was and now I know. They are amazing animals...great to see a 1-week old ibex outsmart a hungry fox.

[paulchiu]

i see where they got the inspiration for the crouching tiger hidden dragon movie where the master stood on the trees....

fantastic video!

5 stars

paul

[97669]

@vivavoce83 You're very welcome, Lynne. Amazing animals, and I'm so glad the baby ibex didn't become lunch for Mr. fox!! A little drama at the end! LOL :)

[livewire242]

What if you have more than one? Are they 'ibices'?

[treewoolyface]

SO-FCKIN-CUTEEEEE

[97669]

Fascinating animals!!! Thanks for posting!

[HuurGuus]

The fox is like: "Screw this, I'm gonna find me an easier prey. A bird or something"

[welstijlfilms]

I published this video on the Dutch website WELSTIJL (23 march) Kind regards Sem Mallée

[harshLesson]

so amazing. makes you wonder if animals are smarter than we think.

[Kadozier]

WALLHAX

[caemith]

0:40 sparring babies...

CUTEST THING EVER!

[UnicycleFilms]

Is Sean Connery narrating this?

[caemith]

?? sounds like david attenborough.

connery would be near-growling haha

[gatorhator21]

I think I would mate with the ibex first, and then the fox.

[gibsondudek]

1:20,amazing

[CheeseUnion]

Chèvre du Montagne. Of wat? ^^;

[trickstered]

RUUUNNN!! RUNNNN LITTLE GOAT! Fucking special forces goats.

[randomuserguy]

That little guy is so hardcore, I'm glad he survived.

[Tragedienne3]

@randomuserguy It was a girl.

[xXHuginMuninXx]

and that is where predators lurk moar <.<'

[LogInAnders]

I have very little interest in this. It reeks of real life.

[kamratframjandet]

Imagine putting a wireless camera onto one of those Ibexes, could someone do that for me, please?

[Craziness714]

That's amazing!

I'd love to see one of these little guys in action.

[lolo4ko]

WOOOOOOOW O_O !!!

[gregshortall]

FUCK FOX

[TheSchimmi]

Psh, ibex, Hardy Heron for life!
