22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Ibex Duel
A pair of Nubian Ibex male demonstrating in front of the herd's females, near the edge of the Ramon Crater in Israel's Negev desert. The ibex is a protected animal and this has resulted in them being less apprehensive of humans, roaming the streets of the desert towns and looking for food dumped by the people.
