Αγριόγιδο των Βαλκανίων (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica) στον Όλυμπο.
Το αγριόγιδο ξεχωρίζει για τη χαριτωμένη εμφάνισή του και την εξαιρετική ικανότητα αναρρίχησης, και αποτελεί το πιο αντιπροσωπευτικό θηλαστικό των ψηλών βουνών της χώρας μας.
Η κατανομή του στην Ελλάδα είναι διάσπαρτη και κατακερματισμένη και το συναντάμε κυρίως στην οροσειρά της Πίνδου, αλλά και στα βουνά της Στερεάς Ελλάδας, στη Ροδόπη και στον Όλυμπο.
Ο Όλυμπος αποτελεί τον πρώτο Εθνικό Δρυμό της Ελλάδας που ιδρύθηκε το 1938, περιλαμβάνεται στο διεθνές δίκτυο Αποθεμάτων Βιόσφαιρας, ανήκει στο Δίκτυο Natura 2000, και το 2021 χαρακτηρίστηκε ως Εθνικό Πάρκο.

Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica) on Mount Olympus.
The Balkan chamois stands out for its graceful appearance and excellent climbing ability, and is the most representative mammal of the high mountains of our country.
Its most distinctive feature are its erect and backward-turning horns, which resemble hooks, and continue to grow throughout its life.
According to the Red Book of Endangered Animals of Greece, it is classified as Near Threatened and is strictly protected by Greek and European legislation, as well as by international conventions.
Its distribution in Greece is scattered and fragmented and the Balkan chamois is mainly found on Pindos mountain range, but also on the mountains of Central Greece, on Rodopi and on Mount Olympus.
Mount Olympus, where this beautiful photo was captured, is the first National Woodland Park of Greece, established in 1938, it is part of the international network of Biosphere Reserves, a site of the Natura 2000 network, and in 2021 it was designated as a National Park.
