Synopsis

Abruzzi's chamois, an ancient species endemic to the Apennines, face serious threats alongside the last snowfinches and the rare Ursini's viper in Central Italy.

Synopsis

This episode deals with the biological cycle of Abruzzi's chamois, which are endemic to the highest mountains of Central Italy. The Apennine chamois are an ancient species, but today, they are under serious threat. They are the survivors of a prehistoric species, with a few small and isolated groups remaining in the Balkans, Pyrenees, and especially in the Apennines. Alongside the seasonal cycle of the chamois, the film describes the life of the last snowfinches of Central Italy, and the smallest viper of Europe: the rare Ursini's viper.
