Even bitter frost leaves the chamois cold. But climate change is depriving climbers of food sources and encouraging parasite infestations. The marmots suffer a similarly harsh fate. As summers get warmer, they spend more and more time underground.
Only a gentle drop of stones sometimes gives mountaineers and climbers the idea that a flock of chamois is moving above and along the tree line. Otherwise, bucks, goats, and fawns, which are related to simple goats, are often rare. The fact that they blend in with rocks, pines and brown vegetation is due to their perfect camouflage color. “On the other hand, the chamois can sometimes be quite curious and dare to approach,” says Tyrolean Mount Everest conqueror Peter Habeler, who has encountered hundreds of these animals on his journeys through rocks and snow.
