I love how they just run down after slurping the minerals.

That made my palms sweat.

I cannot with Brian's Mancunian accent.

Notice how the Italian guy says "stambecco" - this wonderful animal has many names: Alpine ibex, steinbock, bouquetin. I've seen them several times and they are majestic rulers of their rocky domain. Look at this lil' fella, straddling the Alps as if it were nothing at all. Completely unbothered.

Goats have one of the most beautiful eyes in all of nature, in my views.

You'd think that someone would have laid a giant salt lick at the wall by now. Fuckin assholes!

The video doesn't show all the ones that fall to their deaths. I've seen other videos and many of the kids lose their footing and fall. They should put salt licks at the base of the damn so the animals won't have to do all that climbing.

I know this is a dumb question but ... surely the goats are smart enough to try easier routes first?

If their lives were in danger sure, but they willingly go this route? I wish the video went into more on why the “choose” this route.
