A rare Nubian ibex stands atop a parked car, surrounded by lush greenery, blending nature with urban elements. Sunlight filters through the tree branches, casting intricate shadows on the animal and the vehicle below.

Ibex in a Parking Lot

Ibex in a parking lot,

Jumped on a nearby car,

Across from Dead Sea deserts,

People watching from afar,

It seems it could not reach the trees,

The leaves are better there,

And so a car was perfect,

If you rent a car, beware!

There must be hoof insurance,

For this rare endangered breed,

If renting in Ein Gedi,

Full insurance do you need,

I hope that it enjoyed the meal,

As tourists’ eyes grew wide,

But next time in Ein Gedi,

Don't park by the trees outside.
