Did you know that Ibex goats can climb dam walls?
I suppose it all makes sense, given that their habitat is rocky mountain tops of around 1500 metres above sea level. Normally you'd suppose they stick to places where it would be easy to get a foothold, but here's proof that they like a challenge.
The video below is a little unclear about the relationship of vertical to horizontal. The goat is climbing the sheer outer wall of a dam. A vertical wall, that is.
From what I can gather, the goat is climbing the wall to lick salt off the stones.
Enjoy the daggy soundtrack!
