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

At only a few days old, these baby ibex have to descend these steep mountain slopes to hunt for food. Fortunately for them, they are true masters of balance. But one hungry fox is out to get the little one who's left behind.

Natural World: Growing Up Wild (2015)
A look at the challenges young animals face, from their first steps through to leaving home. For any animal, the early days of life are often the most difficult. Finding food, avoiding predators and generally learning life's essential skills is tough. However, with a little parental guidance growing up can be an adventure. By following some special tiger cubs in India, an adolescent mountain gorilla in Uganda and two nervous polar bear cubs in the high Arctic, the trials and tribulations of growing up wild are revealed.

Fox : They probably don't taste good anyways.

It was a sour ibex

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

[@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

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

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?

[@YaNansCrustyToe]

These videos are honestly amazing

[@grat2010]

Hope it eventually got reunited with its family

[@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]

Mainly, Their news network is Insanely honest and good😂🤣😂

[@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.

[@25provo]

I saw a smile in its face at the end.

[@Bab12355]

[@isaacstone7899]

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

Kids at 0:58 are like: "You've got to be kidding me! Why wasn't I born a bird?" Watching this 4 times now. Didn't even notice the adults balancing in the trees first time.

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

The the little ibex has been standing there on the side of the rock ever since.

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.

[@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.
