La last 400 chamois living in the mountains of the Abruzzo National Park in Italy are descendants of an ancient community from the north who colonized the Apennine chain more than 250,000 years ago. Today, after many adversities and the risk of extinction, the chamois lives peacefully in the beechwood forests of the region. We follow the story of a young chamois, born during the month of May, illustrating the most curious aspects of the biology and behavior of these magnificent animals. we see the young chamois at play; its struggle for survival during the long, snowy winters; and the mating exhibitions of the old males as they confront each other in late fall in order to establish their social position in the community.
