I did have one day on my Italy trip where I was able to photograph some wildlife. This goat-antelope species is called a chamois and is native to the mountains of Europe. We were hiking in a place called Gran Paradiso National Park in the Italian Alps when we saw several of these guys. I didn’t have my long lens with me, but was able to get fairly close to a few chamois including this one.
Why is he sticking his tongue out at you Sean? WHAT did you do to this poor “token” animal? I bet he didn’t appreciate being marginalized as a “take it or leave it” specimen. Animals have rights too! – or, well – he is Italian – so maybe he was just checking Shelly out!

hahaha he didn’t like it though.
i think if I were a goat I’d be crazy too. Like when people walked by I’d tip my hat and say things like “welcome to the thunderdome”.
