This is kinda video that no one searches for it but can't resist clicking it when it pops up in the suggestions
my question is why cant the people filming them help them in case they fall or something lol all they do is watch

I like how the mother is teaching her kid how to do it on his own. That kid did well.
Couldn't comprehend how they did that climb, simply incredible.
Surely someone could find a way to release enough of that water so they don't have to do this.

@@DeletedDevilDeletedAngelI'm sure you know what that meant.

Top comment!
I only clicked on this video to say that! Damn it!
It’s tradition to comeback and watch this video every ounce in a while
Exactly 😂 my 4th time once a year i just think about how they do that😂
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.
Trop beau
They fell so these can climb lol
And here we go again. It’s 2am and I’m watching goats defying gravity
where do u live bro
same here 2am
Me too 🤣 2:41 :(
4:am for me.
@Stanlaire 2:48 same always in italy
2:45 haha
The way he’s running down he isn’t scared at all.
I wonder what the goat sees and thinks. I wonder if it knows that one miss step will lead to their death.
@@stevenvalle3013 Probably. I mean they must have a survival instinct at some point they must be aware that heights can mean death. But they must be confident in their abilities and not have fear of heights.
@@stevenvalle3013 They also use mountains to evade predators
Takes a pet like no problem
Doubt they fear or feel death, it's more of just completing there goal for survival.
This defines the saying..."Where this a will, there is a way".
As a person afraid of heights, my legs go numb just watching this 😨
Amazing animals to say the least! 👏
Baby Human: Can't stand for several months without assistance.
Baby Goat: PARKOUR!
Most Underrated comment 😀😀😀😀😁😊😂😂😂😂😂
Fun fact: Just as baby cats are called kittens, baby goats are called "kids".
I mean tbf standing on 2 legs is harder than standing on 4
Michael Scott: PARKOUR!
lmao
when haters waiting for you to fall but you the GOAT
Rane xD 👍👍👍😂
Im missing a joke here.
@Spectre N7 Thank you! Jeez, i never caught that.
Literally need WAY more likes bro. Sick comment
it was an ibex though
It's amazing to watch these animals climb a steep walls for minerals. Nice video. Nature takes care of itself in any many ways.

The GOATS of rock climbing!
This is literally the equivalent of riding a horse up a mountain in Skyrim.
Need a mod to add these goats
@@Randall_D_Clark No kidding. Would make riding up mountains so much easier lmao
Lmao wooow I was literally thinking the same thing, did not expect someone to mention the horses of Skyrim
Kkkkkkk
Walk the seven thousand steps? Na bro we takin the horse
imagine defying physics just to lick rocks
😂😂😭😭
😂🤣😂
Yeah seems like the most logical corse of action to me
Underrated comment
Jesus Christ, Marie! They're not rocks. They're minerals.
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.
I absolutely need the music... do you know what music is that??
@@venkateshp1609 dunno but gave me elder scrolls oblivion vibes for some reason
^^^ kinda sounds like some parts of Auriel's Ascension from the game ost I guess
@venkateshp1609 , the music isn't on RUclips, but it's called "Song of the Manatee" by Benji Merrison. You may be able to find it on Google!
EDIT: Just searched it up to see if it's still on his SoundCloud and it has been removed unfortunately. A shame really, as it is a beautiful piece of music!
it's amazing to see that nature pushes us to surpass ourselves
Gravity has left the server.
Gurjyot Singh Narwal soooo true
Best comment😂
Maybe has right the server.

There is no fall damage ..OMG😌
Luckily these goats are not carnivores they just want some salt. Imagine being chased by a carnivorous goat that can climb a vertical dam.
Lmao
A very steep dam.
There is a torture method which involed sprinkling salt water on somebody feet and let the goat lick it off.
@@Siegberg91 oh no
i think you might dont know what vertical means.
Holy cow!!! Looks like an animated scene altogether but these animals are gifted with remarkable physical and mental abilities.
This is the only animal that makes me look stunned whenever I watch them doing this.

These Ibex are true GAMERS with how quick they process each step and next step after with such precession!
Parkour guy: I can climb buildings.
Ibex: That's cute

Lmao
Ibex can't climb a building though lol.
Lmao 😂
Not only they are walking on a dam, they are even running on it.
goat power👏
Jumping on it
They can even rotate and dance on it.
Grammar! Not only (are) they...etc.
I was completely unaware of what goats could do. amazing creature. Now, I'll go get some beers wearing goat fur.
Mothers....❤its beautiful how the Ibex mother waits for her little one to climb.
My hands were sweating so bad watching this. Glad they made it.

Why did my comment put a timeframe I don’t know

Astounding. I was holding my breath the whole time.

89° is even harder than 90°... That should be 91°

Thank You Brian, well done and explained beautifully.
Climbing up slowly is one thing, that last part with the Ibex GALLOPING across the wall of a dam... these Goats are legendary
They're GOATs

I strongly believe goats are from the same paralel dimension where Japan was born. The cant be more weird XD.

Not funny twice

I can't even navigate the 6 back steps with hands on both sides..
The way they just sprinted down to safety is just pure amazement
Risking breaking all your bones to get something that helps grow and strengthen thos same bones! That's poetic!
some predator: we got him cornered, get ‘e-
ibex: *HOWEVER-!*
Ibex: So anyways i started climbing
Predator =human
Daga kotawaru!
ibex: oh no, anyways
Eagle: I drag you off of cliff
HUMAN: "They're defying the law of gravity!"
IBEX: "I never studied law."
Lol that seems like a humourous situation. The human yelling at the Ibex and the Ibex yelling back
"WHY ARE YOU DEFYIING THE LAW OF GRAVITY FOR A ROCK?"
"I NEVER STUDIED LAW! LEAVE ME ALONE!"
He could go toe-to-toe on Goat Law.
If not studied or knowledge of law you can definitely challenge or break the law.
The ibex never studied english too.

@@123hxpe GOATed comment 😂😂
That's what I was thinking--just put a salt lick or two at the bottom. They'll still maintain their climing skills, I'd think.

When he took off I knew nature was different
Was it a gentle slope? 👉CNN👈 style camerawork? What is time?
Same thingy - I was worried how those poor animals especially the baby will climb down and was very worried 😟
I tell my students that ibex don't give a damn about grades: they just keep climbing.
It was nerve-wrecking for us to see them slowly climb, and sometimes almost slip, but the way they confidently go down after getting what they wanted!?
Logic dictates getting down safely is always much harder than getting up in the first place! This shows slipping does not register as danger for them, but a mild inconvenience because they would lose progress...which is mind-blowing!
