Gradient limits and safety factor of Alpine ibex ( Capra ibex ) locomotion

[摘要] Dam walls are like open laboratories useful to study the gradient limits of locomotion. Two dam walls, where Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) use to climb searching for the salty exuded, were filmed at 0.2 fps. The straight slope of the walls ranged from 123% to
