A female Alpine Ibex, a species of wild goat that lives in the mountains of the European Alps, licks stones on a vertical dam (up to 80°) at the lake Cingino, at 2200 m altitude, with her young, on September 22, 2014, near Antrona Piana. At summer time, Alpine Ibexes use to come on the wall to lick the salt that seeps from the stones. (Photo by Olivier Morin/AFP Photo)
