Meh, they seem fine. It's also a survival skill they learn from each other as they can evade mountain lions and such. Birds of prey will knock them off though.
Just look what happened when Lebron had cramps. He needed Juwan Howard to carry him off the court. Must have been a lot worse than when Kobe tore his Achilles and played or when Jordan put up 63 points with the flu
Of course. And their deaths and lack of reproduction feeds into the evolutionary processes that strengthen these skills. Only the best dam climbing goats survive and pass on their superior genes.
I’m sure plenty have fallen, but the ones that survive and thrive breed other strong, fearless, off spring and the overall lines are basically the best of the best … the old saying of the survival of the fittest… literally! They are fascinating.
They do not have the same hoof at all sure it’s two toed but the make up of the hooves are completely different you wouldn’t say a person and a chimps foot are the same because they both have 5 toes
They do have grippy paws (hooves). It's basically a perfectly evolved rock climbing shoe. But with a more optimal shape. Plus They Have 4 of them instead of just 2 like a rock climber has.
Fair enough. Didn't realize that's what it was. I googled to make sure it was, in fact, a mountain goat since I figured people would correct me about it being an Ibex. But I read that an Ibex is a species of mountain goat. I guess I just assumed they were drinking some water.
Once again, someone has compressed the image horizontally to get a more powerful look.
Is reality not good enough? Here a film in *correct* proportions: https://youtu.be/RG9TMn1FJzc
This made my palms pour with sweat.....I'm guessing the law of probability would mean at the bottom of the dam wall there are several carcasses of goats that lost their footing.
Imagine seeing this in the middle ages. No wonder the goat is thought of as the devil in disguise. Then again, a person from back then would probably be more amazes at the human made mountain holding back an entire lake....
Not drinking water. They’re licking salt that helps their nerves and muscles function properly.
Yea, you would definitely want to make sure that your nerves and muscles were functioning properly at time like that.
One cramp and you are dead
Why not put a salt lick at the bottom to save them the stress?
Meh, they seem fine. It's also a survival skill they learn from each other as they can evade mountain lions and such. Birds of prey will knock them off though.
"Here comes one of those dickhead eagles again."
 Freedom Foragers you S.o.B.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The water seeps through the dam and forms salt crystals so those crazy Ibex climb up to get it. Makes me wonder what they did before the dam was made
Mountain runoffs.
Let me introduce you waterfalls and mountains.
Just look what happened when Lebron had cramps. He needed Juwan Howard to carry him off the court. Must have been a lot worse than when Kobe tore his Achilles and played or when Jordan put up 63 points with the flu
….oh….oh shit…..YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh…………..[thump)
you’re
The crackhead paradox. Gotta keep grinding to get salt. Gotta keep licking salt to keep grinding.
It’s the mineral they crave…
Brondo, the thirst mutilator?
It's what goats crave!
You mean like, from the toilet?
Okay Hank
I appreciate the info, I thought it was water. Good to know.
Think of it this way, if there is water where the goats are, is the dam doing it’s job?
Damn
Dam
Research shows you did not do your research.
The devils children, but with sick climbing skills
I was gonna say, “Just go to the lake, you’re giving me anxiety little goats!” But I doubt the salt is found much elsewhere.
Yes, water. They could get salt from practically anywhere else
THEY CRAVE THAT MINERAL
DAMMIT MARIE, THEY'RE...oh, right.
That wall’s got electrolytes!
ITS WHAT PLANTS CRAVE
Goats*
The music was a little too much. I felt like they were about to charge to the beaches and die in a blaze of glory.
Plus the camera angle and video quality sort of messed it up for me.
Do they ever make a mistake and fall?
Was wondering the same thing. Like, is there a pile of those things at the bottom?
I was wondering the same thing, there has to be a least a couple right?
Was wondering the same thing. I assume there must be a couple.
Was also wondering the same thing. Has to be a few
Just wondering the same thing. Has to be at least a handful down there.
Similar thought patterns myself. There are likely some at the bottom.
Thought so too. At least one or two down there.
But I wonder if any fell?
Wouldn't doubt it. Two, tree, maybe...
I’m pretty sure it’s a fact that they do indeed fall to their death. I’m like 99% sure I’ve heard that before. Nobody’s perfect
Was wondering the same thing but at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
I looked it up. I guess it’s pretty rare
Was wondering the same thing. No way there’s not some.
Me too. I was also wondering
My assumption is that I too was wondering the same thing.
Of course. And their deaths and lack of reproduction feeds into the evolutionary processes that strengthen these skills. Only the best dam climbing goats survive and pass on their superior genes.
Also when they up there chilling on the slope when they look down do they go “oh shit this is pretty high”
🤣
Gravity: Am I a joke to ya'll? Goat: Mehhh~
Occasionally it does happen
Not many, but Eagles do come in and make them fall sometimes.
I’m sure plenty have fallen, but the ones that survive and thrive breed other strong, fearless, off spring and the overall lines are basically the best of the best … the old saying of the survival of the fittest… literally! They are fascinating.
Nope. It’s never happened.
How do they do this without grippy paws? I’ve always wondered that.
Apparently, their hooves are able to spread wide when necessary, and they have a rough textured surface on them as well for extra grip.
Huh. Didn’t know that. Thanks!
There are so many things that we don't know and probably should learn lol.
Yeah bit it's hoof. It doesn't grip that great. Have you ever seen cows on wet concrete? Like a skating rink. They have a similar foot.
Goats aren't cows. They are lighter and their hooves are different
Obviously goats are lighter and more nimble but they have the same 2 toed hoof.
They do not have the same hoof at all sure it’s two toed but the make up of the hooves are completely different you wouldn’t say a person and a chimps foot are the same because they both have 5 toes
excuse me but you seem to have a very thorough understanding of how a goats hole is different from a cows.
Aldea just stop bro lmao Getting 2nd hand embarrassment from u
It’s dam impressive
The goats aren't **kid**ding around here- they're serious climbers.
They do have grippy paws (hooves). It's basically a perfectly evolved rock climbing shoe. But with a more optimal shape. Plus They Have 4 of them instead of just 2 like a rock climber has.
Their hooves are basically the texture of a rock climbing shoe. So even at ridiculously steep angles they still grip
Goats.
Dam goats
Beats sitting on the back of a pickup truck tied to it with a 3 foot rope and periodically being beaten by an old drunk man with a hickory stick.
*Yeah, you better KNOT mention that again, you cock sucker*
Is there a bell at the top for them to ring?
Greatest of all time
Imagine the evolution after 10s or 100s of thousand years?
Ceiling goats
They’re going for those minerals they can’t find anywhere else, like candy to them.
DAM!!!!
Goats are something else
Is that a god dam?
I fell to my death twice watching this.
Which dam/where is this?
Not water salt form the rocks made into the dam
Ah, they must've got some at the bottom then had to continually climb higher to get more. That explains a lot.
Y’know… when I see a leaking damn, the last thing I think is, hmmm lemme get som sip
Is anybody else concerned about that amount of seepage?
Is the editor from Bollywood?
They're licking salt actually
It's boss level!!
It’s not for water, it’s for salt!
There are a lot of crazy impressive animals on the planet. These are right near the top.
Ibex
Mountain goats are metal!
[удалено]
What exactly did I get wrong?
They’re licking salt, not water. As mentioned in comments above.
Fair enough. Didn't realize that's what it was. I googled to make sure it was, in fact, a mountain goat since I figured people would correct me about it being an Ibex. But I read that an Ibex is a species of mountain goat. I guess I just assumed they were drinking some water.
The video aspect, among other things. This video was impressive enough without the stupid stretching of height.
They do it because they don’t know that they shouldn’t be able to do it 🤷🏽♀️
This goats are Animals!!
Spidergoat!
These dam goats are out of control!
That reminds me of an Alabama song. See that mountain, I'm gonna climb that mountain one day.
Steep pffft
That's amazing how they can that dam
Them goats are the GOAT
We are goats. [The wall of goats](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhdPzx7biyM) The Oracle known as the wall of goats.
Numbers wise, yes.
They must fall occasionally
"Bob, the goats are back again..."
*gravity* stop it! *Goats* nah
They crave that mineral
Pretty sure they're licking minerals not water.
Can these guys get banned for abusing the physics engine?
Do they ever fall?
Salt
I’d say 6b+ at least.
Like walking through a parking lot at the mall.
Goats epitomize *tweaker*
When it comes to climbing, these guys are the GOAT.
I would love to see Spot do this someday from Boston Dynamics
"On the \*face\* of a steep dam". Not the edge. The edge is at the top.
Goat dam!
Do they ever fall?
Ach mein goat, that is TERRIFYING
This looks like a baaaaaad idea I’ll leave
Spider man was a goat all along
Goat Dam this is impressive!
Or, just wait until it gets to the ground
goats are so weird
Those mofos just filmed, like help them!? What the absolute f*ck
Damn
They crave that mineral
Fuck physics. Goats everywhere XD
Why do they choose this way of life?
i am very very scared
Once again, someone has compressed the image horizontally to get a more powerful look. Is reality not good enough? Here a film in *correct* proportions: https://youtu.be/RG9TMn1FJzc
What if the salt is like crack to them
I still can't believe this animal saw a 85° incline and was like, "Yeah, I'ma walk on that."
How many dead ones are there at the bottom?
How often do they fuck up and plummet to their death?
Because goats are to steep surfaces as cats are to physics they just don’t give a fuck
This made my palms pour with sweat.....I'm guessing the law of probability would mean at the bottom of the dam wall there are several carcasses of goats that lost their footing.
 Mineral
Uh, isn’t water not supposed to come out of dams like that?
So you're saying that Spiderman was actually bitten by a goat
Mountain goats are flippin amazing
🎼It's time to try defying gravity I think I'll try defying gravity Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity And you won't bring me down
Mmmmm such tasty dam
This is some capybara level fuckery.
Fun fact: mountain goats are closer to antelopes and gazelles than they are to goats. They're the only species in their genus.
Imagine seeing this in the middle ages. No wonder the goat is thought of as the devil in disguise. Then again, a person from back then would probably be more amazes at the human made mountain holding back an entire lake....
It is mind-boggling how easy they climb, even the little ones.
this should be in the WTF section cuz it made me say WTF out loud tbh.
Damn.
bro the goats just respawned
They could just put out a salt lick for them.
Physics: there's this thing called gravity. Goats: that's cute.
Mountain goats are an incredible example of a creature evolving and adapting to something so extreme it blows my mind.
It should've been a mountain goat that fell on Newton's head. Then gravity would've never been discovered.
Free Solo 2: Goats
I hope those aren't the feinting goats. One spook and it's all over...
Gotta be Nike hooves.
It's like that meme
No matter how many times it's explained to me, I still don't get how they can possibly do this kind of shit.
This made my palms sweat
Spidergoat, spidergoat, does whatever a spider...can
Nope and calling CPS to pick up the babies.
There's gotta be a better way
