Chamois behaviours

They are more likely to be found in forests during the winter, and roam alpine meadows in the summer: this is their seasonal altitudinal migration. In the event of an attack, it adopts the same escape strategy as its predators (wolves, lynx, eagles for young goats): it flees at full speed downhill! This requires a lot of energy, which it needs to survive the cold and scarcity of food in winter, or to reproduce. So if you come across one, give it time to move away peacefully.
