Every climber knows that mountains are unforgiving.
You have to move along the rocks very slowly, with a bunch of precautions so that, God forbid, you do not fall into the abyss, splashing your brains over the stones.
Apparently, no one told the mountain goats about this. That is why they jump on steep cliffs as if on level ground, as if gravity had no effect on them.
Mountain goats are divided into three groups: ibex, goats and tours. The difference between them is mainly in the structure of the horns.
Mountain goats are closely related to mountain rams, with which they have many similarities. However, mountain rams avoid steep cliffs, and live on smooth slopes, at an altitude of 2200 to 3500 meters above sea level.
Their more distant relatives are snow goats, chamois and gorals. In short, they have a lot of relatives.
But the question arises: how can mountain goats stand on tiny rock ledges, several thousand meters high, and even run on them?
What is their secret of climbing? Did they hack the laws of physics? Let's find out.
