Winter in north Italy: ice and snow rule over the Dolomites for months on end – only specialists can live up here in the high mountains: like the Ibex, for example. Hardly any other animal can climb so efficiently and scale the steepest slopes so elegantly. Even Ibex, however, descend to lower regions when the ice and snow are lying – the risk of falling is simply too high in winter. When an animal does succumb to the conditions, the Golden Eagle takes advantage. The ‘King of the Skies' becomes a scavenger in winter, when he can't catch prey himself - and he has to share, whether he likes it or not, as ravens and crows are quick to the scene of death.
