The Chamois

The Latin name means "rock goat". This hoofed animal is a first-rate athlete, perfectly adapted to its natural environment: its claw-like hooves are just as good for clinging to rocks as they are for carrying its body across snow!
If danger arises, it can flee down even the steepest rocky slopes.
Its cardio-respiratory system enables it to cover 1,000 m in 15 minutes, whereas a human can cover an average of 350 m in 1 hour!
