Urban Ibex
An old male Nubian Ibex warming in the winter morning sun in the town of Mitzpe Ramon in Israel's Negev desert. The ibex are 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.
