The Dynamics of a Wolf Pack, or at least this one, according to the guy that took the picture and described what was happening.
I have to question the wisdom of having old/sick breaking the trail, and the Alpha leading from the rear, but what do I know.
I could fake dogging, but wolfing is right out, I've never even played one on TV.

Slight reach advantage...

...that eagle is gonna have to do some serious bobbing and weaving.

That eagle is in way over his head .

And the crane/ibis/whatever has backup.

He just tried to steal a fish, how was he to know it belonged to Rocky Balboa.

Yup, thats the place. A friend of mine and I went birding this morning. He is very good. I'm a relative beginner.

Looks like the place to go birding.

I look at this picture and think doesn't that Ibex(substitute sheep, goat, or any of the climbing critters), realize how dangerous that is. I know they have the feet and do it from birth, but shit happens. Doesn't he know if he slips, he dies? Then it dawned on me, no, he just may not. He may think if he slips it'll be a pain in the ass to climb back up, but who knows.
I'm sure he doesn't have any concept of internal injuries, fractured bones, long convalescence, or brain dead. That's what humans worry about, in addition to dying, so most of us don't do shit like hang out on the ledge... except glatt's sister and Griff.

Mine was more get wet lose a toe. Glatt's sister runs with the goats.
