00:00 Here are the ones that are really not afraid of heights in this world.
00:04 It seems that the laws of gravity are not written for them.
00:22 [Music]
00:34 They seem so clumsy, but any climber can envy their agility and speed.
00:46 [Music]
00:58 These are mountain goats.
01:01 [Music]
01:15 It looks like complete madness.
01:18 How do they stay there? Do they have glue on their hooves?
01:29 [Music]
01:45 Oh my gosh! No way!
01:48 The phrase "mountain goats" at first does not even fit in the head.
01:52 After all, most of us are used to seeing goats grazing in the meadows.
01:58 [Music]
02:03 It turns out that all types of goats are typical mountain animals.
02:08 Not meadows, but mountains is their real home.
02:12 Being in the wild, they climb sheer cliffs of unimaginable height.
02:25 [Music]
02:28 These amazing animals can even run on tiny rock ledges.
02:32 [Music]
02:46 They jump over long rocky crevices.
02:51 [Music]
02:56 It's unbelievable, but true.
02:59 [Music]
03:13 This is what the hooves of mountain goats look like.
03:18 At the sole of the hoof there's a soft pad which seems to stick to the surface of the stone, taking its shape.
03:24 Experts say these pads hold their climbing secret.
03:28 These adrenaline junkies live on steep slopes for a reason.
03:34 [Music]
03:42 Mountains are one of the best ways to protect yourself from predators.
03:47 [Music]
04:11 Of course, there is no complete protection in the mountains, as elsewhere.
04:16 The eagles keep taking away the goats.
04:19 [Music]
04:38 Winged predators sometimes attack adults.
04:41 [Music]
04:56 In addition, various delicacies grow high in the mountains.
05:01 With the special goodies, they're even ready to conquer dams.
05:09 [Music]
05:13 Mountain goats are very fond of salt,
05:16 so they often climb the almost vertical walls of dams from where they lick it off.
05:22 [Music]
05:25 The slope of such dams is almost 90 degrees.
05:29 [Music]
05:39 [Buzzer]
05:40 Domesticated goats also have the skills that their wild relatives have.
05:48 [Music]
05:54 For example, Morocco is a country where goats graze not on the ground, but on trees.
06:00 [Music]
06:02 This is due to a large shortage of grass.
06:06 [Music]
06:12 The goats climb the trees growing here, where they eat the leaves and fruits.
06:17 [Music]
06:23 In fact, shepherds herd goats moving from tree to tree.
06:27 [Music]
06:33 The desire to climb a hill is present in all goats from birth.
06:36 [Music]
06:45 Some people unknowingly leave cars near the goats.
06:49 [Music]
06:51 "Get down!"
06:53 Goats will not miss such a chance.
06:57 [Music]
07:08 And here are the goats on the roofs.
07:11 [Music]
07:21 They can easily damage the roof with their hooves.
07:26 "Hey!"
07:27 "Ha ha!"
07:29 However, goats love to climb anything.
07:33 [Music]
07:35 Love for heights is in their blood.
07:38 [Music]
07:49 Their balance can only be envied.
07:53 [Music]
07:58 They even jump on other animals.
08:01 [Music]
08:06 They just always want to be on top.
08:09 [Music]
08:13 Well, there, on top, you can get some yummy.
08:16 [Music]
08:22 "He's a darn damn guy."
08:24 "He likes that tree."
08:26 "He does. He can..."
08:28 Well, dear viewers, this is where we end our video.
08:31 We wish everyone to ascend to the height of your goals as quickly as the goats do.
08:37 [Music]
08:41 See you in a new interesting video.
