Impressive animals

This is a group of ibex walking on the face of a dam in Italy. More photos at the link (along with a little debuking).

This is a forwarded email [...] that says big horn sheep were photographed walking across the steep wall of the Buffalo Bill Dam in Cody, Wyoming.

The Truth:
The photos are real but were not taken at the Buffalo Bill Dam, according to a spokesperson at the Buffalo Bill Dam & Visitor Center, which is located about 6 miles west of Cody, Wyoming. She also told TruthOrFiction.Com that the location of the dam in the picture was in Italy and the animals in the photo were identified as ibex, not big horn sheep.

These were actually photos of Alpine Ibex taken at the Lake Cingino Dam in the Italian Alps by Maurizio Piazzai, who posted them on the Internet.
