A group of ibex photographed in Gilgit-Baltistan’s Khyber valley.
KARACHI: A rare sighting of about 50 Himalayan ibex, including females with their young ones, was recently recorded near the Passu glacier in Hunza valley, the World Wide Fund for Nature-Pakistan (WWF-P) reported on Wednesday.
The footage was captured in the Khyber village by Nyal Mueenuddin, a wildlife film-maker associated with WWF-P, and Imtiaz Ahmed, a local photographer, who were filming Passu glacier’s ecology and associated habitat.
The team came across ibex tracks down the precipitous mountain ridges. The species can be found at an altitude of about 3,660 to over 5,000 metres and usually comes down to 2,135 metres due to snow and in search of food in the winter season.
