Baby Ibex vs Fox on a Cliff Edge | Growing Up Wild | BBC Earth

[@kofivegas]

Extraordinary. The little ibex is amazing.

[@sheilaboston7051]

And we're all happy it didn't get caught. But this is nature, and the fox needs to eat too ... Such is life.

[@containedhurricane]

Incredible cinematography and baby ibex skills. It's like watching a Prince of Persia or an Assassin's Creed game, ibex version

[@ZZ-vl5nd]

The ibex creed - Arabian desert

[@educationforblind6362]

Yes

[@kishona69]

Fox : They probably don't taste good anyways.

[@27pattywhack2]

It was a sour ibex

[@lovelylipbonesouwwwwwwwolv2198]

Reminds me of the sour grapes fable

You must have been a fox in your past life 😅😂

[@nordlord25]

Lmao 😂😂😂

[@Hakucho64]

There's always someone has to spell out the joke.

[@BusyBeaver731]

1:17 It's incredible to see the baby ibex plan where to jump and navigate down a cliff like that. I wonder what goes through their minds and if they scared of falling like we would be? I think the ibex is one of my new favorite animals now

She knew that the fox had no chance vs her baby ibex. It's analogous to a toddler trying to guard Jokic in an NBA basketball game.

[@cintaindonesia6382]

Watching the fox chasing the baby ibex is like watching action film! My heart beat faster..

[@matthanneman7511]

I thought the fox would wait it out at the end. It didn't.

[@jametalboy]

Lessons learnt by all the ibex babies but the last one who was left behind, learnt the most important & crucial lesson of his life that is how to save his life Really like the Dutch/British/isle of man kind of accent of this narrator... Thanks to BBC for sharing this

[@blucat4]

Yay for the baby Ibex! 🙂

[@mjleger4555]

BBC has some wonderful programs to watch! Terrific camera work and very informative commentary on these wonderful videos. I watch David Attenborough's Planet series and they are so educational and wildly interesting! I saw a video about the ibex traveling all over those treacherous perches up high in the mountains and I know they have special pad-like parts of their hooves, which helps them "stick" to the rocks, but babies on those high perches looks awfully tenuous and dangerous!

[@manchesterunited8390]

Thanking you all for this amazing and wonderful documentary sort film about amazing dear cubs and their mother's desert life. And I wonder how they're able to lipp ing on dangerous and slippery rocks. And I also wonder how the little cob of the dear mother was able to escape from the fox. I would like to apriciate if you could tell us how long do they live?

[@return2earthvideochannel]

WOW! Thanks for posting.

[@mnbgowda5665]

Fantastic coverage of both ibaxs and scenery

[@CrowSkeleton]

I'm impressed the fox got as high as it did! That's a hard climb when you have soft feet with close toes (though alas, no ibex supper for the effort). Hopefully the kid made it to the bottom after all that.

[@No-longer1]

That was a damn close call for the kid! There was a moment it hesitated a jump, and the fox was basically breathing down it’s haunches in the end. Had the kid not found the steep cliff only it could stand or have been even a little slower, it would have surely been the fox’s dinner tonight

[@25provo]

I saw a smile in its face at the end.

[@Gaster_021]

Aaaaaaawwwwwww they’re so adorable 🥰

[@isaacstone7899]

Wow, both are amazed by the energy to climb up the cliff and balance.

Ibex have different eyes. They see vertical things as horizontal.. 😂

[@matthewcartner583]

Nice vid, but one thing I've learned from watching wildlife footage online is that you don't need music and you don't need commentary.

[@brainstormer2520]

I wonder if the fox and the young ibex had no-hard-feeling chit-chat at the end!

The drumming is a distraction from the percussion of hooves on rock.

[@commentarytalk1446]

Ibex is a type of Goat (Capra) and so a young Ibex is an Ibex Kid not "baby" which is an anthropological term as opposed to the term used for goats which is "kid". It's excellent quality footage of the animals and the narration overall is well delivered, but the bbc has turned National History into mawkish-sentimentality which does not respect the natural conditions sufficiently of these animals in the wild.
