    Issac Newton: Well, the cool thing about grav- Ibex: no
  • Couldn't comprehend how they did that climb, simply incredible.
  • @Wipper86
    I like how the mother is teaching her kid how to do it on his own. That kid did well.

    Baby Human: Can't stand for several months without assistance. Baby Goat: PARKOUR!

    Predator: “He is stuck, he can’t go anywhere” Ibex: “check this out”
  • It’s tradition to comeback and watch this video every ounce in a while
  • @Yokai_Yuri
    This is indeed nailbiting. I am pretty sire throughout history many of these animals have died because of slipping, but the fact they do this is quite impressive.
  • This is kinda video that no one searches for it but can't resist clicking it when it pops up in the suggestions
  • @Caneforce
    As a person afraid of heights, my legs go numb just watching this 😨 Amazing animals to say the least! 👏
  • It's amazing to watch these animals climb a steep walls for minerals. Nice video. Nature takes care of itself in any many ways.

    Luckily these goats are not carnivores they just want some salt. Imagine being chased by a carnivorous goat that can climb a vertical dam.
  • @PhxSml
    The way he’s running down he isn’t scared at all.
  • The background music starting at 2:38 almost till the end, the narrator's voice, the goat's licking sound, I dunno but somehow strangely calming and relaxing love it.
