Mountain Goats - amazing rock climbers

Miranda Krestovnikoff attempts to emulate the extraordinary rock climbing skills of the mountain goat, on the spectacular cliffs of Great Orme in North Wales.

[@mickjagger6168]

They are cool, When I was a kid me and my brother use to ride the goats up & down the cliffs, TRUE STORY !

[@lawrencejohnrobinson4843]

Mountain goats are amazing climbers, but research done over two winters in Glacier NP, showed that 50% of the first-year mortality of mountain goats is from falling. Reporter/scientist noted that the predators gathered around the bottom of the cliffs waiting for dinner to be served. Ref: A Beast the Color of Winter, by Douglas Chadwick

What an informative video. Thank you so much for posting it.

[@MrTachyon3000]

I love the goats. I wanted the video to be 100% about the goats, without a clumsy human trying to climb a rock.

[@blackjet21]

oh really? why don't you change your surname to Goat then?

[@MrTachyon3000]

blackjet21 Really! Your post makes no sense! Infantile humor at best. Just because I like an animal I'm supposed to have it's name? I'll just find a better video; how's that?

[@rafiqul84]

blackjet21 the stupidity of this response, i'm in tears laughing XD

[@blendcry7025]

just wanted to check, whether the goats in hobbit 3 are somehow realistic.... and Im convinced now :D

[@Beowolfenstein]

I am here for the very same reason lol.

[@arznc112]

Same

[@OlderG0ds]

I'd say yes but without the armored dwarf riding it.

[@garfocusalternate]

The woman seems to look at these goats as an inspiration. The goats do it because they need to eat to survive. Humans do it because we're idiots who risk our lives for fun.

[@stevedavis8329]

and they have pretty good taste. I always liked that Killers tune.

[@SFCANK1981]

PROUD TO BE A CAPRICORN

[@jeanjeansTV]

GOAT .... GREATEST OF ALL TIME

[@SAMMIsLIFE]

These animals are freakin amazing

[@ser6Ijvolk]

Actual goats. And here I thought "Amazing rock climbers" was a creative song title.

[@Mr.Legend_Speaks]

I honestly thought this animal were only in North America??? Either way, beautiful animals.

[@KingCleen]

That's just great, I love it.

[@YesNoMaybeSometimes]

Lol that's like a 5.3 she's climbing up. Amazing animals though - I love how they just don't give a shit and run across the sketchiest areas.

[@dochmbi]

That was some sick free solo climbing. The goats should do a partnership with black diamond.

[@maudestephens7086]

Using designed, and adapted in the same description is signs of an ammature reporter. If it adapted, how was it designed. and if it has adapted there must be a lot of goats smashed at the bottom of many cliffs, while waiting for their hooves to adapt. It was designed as a plunger type hoof, from the start, unless it started as a Kangaroo, now it's a goat.

[@gladitsnotme]

CAPRICORNS STAND UP

[@davidrivera3431]

why is the pic compressed? I can't appreciate because the image is messed up...

[@louiseisgro-ibrahim5017]

So much respect for goats after seeing this..

[@danthadon87]

How many mountain goats die every year due to their insatiable hunger for adrenaline? The face of an adrenaline junkie 1:59

[@emilyheller4590]

You're so stupid... They go up the mountains for salt deposits.

[@paperbulletbice]

great video

[@ChipoltleXD]

They really crave that mineral.

[@FnD4212]

Mountain goat like: Screw flat land! Vertical bitch!

[@mmelloe]

"amazing rock climbers" is my favorite mountain goats song

[@Kedbuka]

Beautiful creatures.

[@shotoforcebrazilianjiujits4932]

I love goats.

[@lewysf8705]

Great band

[@GBPaddling]

That's nothing, I have seen a FOX at the foot of the cliffs, at Gt Orme, right under the lighthouse. How it got there I'll never know, there is no visible path or track, whether it swam around I don't know. Also, I have seen dead goats in sea caves, so they don't always get it right.

[@irapuji8503]

wedos opo jenenge kui.? In indonesia.

[@TwigaMegahan]

They have peripheral vision, but when one climbs blindfolded, one realizes that most of the climb is achieved by balance.

[@miguelcsi]

I thought this was a song I hadn't heard yet hahahahaha

[@JusticeForPinoys]

An amazing animal

[@thai-stylez]

[@fulaan1]

Male and female have horns?

[@pakananani6397]

God knew what he was doing when he created these wonderful creatures

[@adenwachtel2768]

Mountain goats are the most insane thing ever. How is this possible. Seriously this is almost as insane as the universe existing, like when you think "why the fuck does shit even exist this is b8nkers"

[@y0urs03pic]

Where's Sea-Goat Family !!!

[@Warhorse469]

Humans are amazing climbers even without ropes

[@Sadd2Me]

Yeah, sorry, that chalk diagram didn't help.

[@rodspacer]

Exactly what I thought! :)

[@shawnparenteau9395]

They brought a piece of chalk like oh let’s draw a diagram, they’ll understand then! Stupid lol

[@tptapan]

Great climbers👍

[@mitsubishi777]

I love her accent.

[@afinafina]

mountaineer Carlo Forte has shared many mountain moment with goats! What?

[@coreyprichard7019]

Heheh, with the killers in the background.

[@mrman6103]

I wonder if they ever fall

[@alexcole8438]

I also feast on grass tucked between crevices

[@kangaxx4396]

As a welsh i was about to report this video for porn

[@milumexbai5245]

What ?

[@billcosbysroofiedealer2070]

[@J---A]

I fucking love goats. 'nuff said

[@ajiencoper3303]

the goat show who the fastest rock climbers

[@jonathanmang6546]

very interesting

[@krrrruptidsoless]

I thought this video was about goats not gates. Every time she says gate I see a rod iron gate scampering around and then dragging its rusty frame and catching the 90 degree corners on some of the jagged edges of rock. The clanging of rod iron against granite and such. Tunnnnnnnnngggggggg cannnnnnnngggggg kunnnnnnnnnnnggggg rings the rod iron when it hit the hard surface at the right angle and then it goes a prancing to the next crag.

[@carlosdenully1080]

Amazing!!!

[@linhtet9279]

[@FoxyVox]

[@gurlio1000]

[@TravisHeinze]

I bet those fainting goats, that people breed, wouldn't last long in the mountains.

[@amoures6841]

Amazing animals!#capricorn!

[@jz400]

I wonder why they enjoy climbing mountains. Sure it's fun and a way to get around and eat I guess.

[@TiberiusStorm]

They also don't want to get eaten by bigger animals that's why they're built to climb.

[@MarissaRachelle1]

They crave that mineral

[@YesYouAreAbsolutelyCorrect]

That fucking accent. My years....

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

Eau Rouge ur being rude

[@industriales31]

This video was just about the girl climbing. What the hell! -1

[@raptorkil]

[@jakeharrison3451]

[@EGRJ]

"Get on my level, bro."

[@rayoloco5000]

[@cocoforcrack]

Craving that mineral.

[@shankyxyz]

i would have goat really scared even though I crave that mineral too.

[@Kelly14UK]

Yeah but eagles can pick them up and drop them from high up. Not nice.

[@DeusSalis]

Kelly14UK maybe the tiny ones, no way an eagle could grab a fully grown goat.

[@cryo4042]

Hah, your stupid.

[@gshrdy5415]

I like goits, goit can do it but i can't do it like goit.

[@alicar1]

They have NOT adapted to be able to climb. They were CREATED by God to be able to climb~!!!!!!!!!

[@millbargefitz-hume8522]

Pixar should make a movie.

[@nedmartin5450]

Came here looking for a mountain goats song

[@Hirudura]

I guess they must really crave those minerals

[@Brancaalice]

Everest climber should take lessons with them.

[@MegaHELLRAISER01]

i guess you could say they crave that mineral

[@marciocouto3543]

2:30 Mr. Goat despise you.

[@LizzieBeezie]

I guess you could say they are too high to care about falling xD

[@dub_goatz3228]

[@jtlachappelle]

[@josephastier7421]

[@ryanglitcherrrr]

[@indyreno2933]

Despite, its name, the Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus) is not a goat, nor is it closely related to them, the mountain goat is the only extant species of the genus Oreamnos, its closest living relatives are the chamoises (genus Rupicapra), these genera are classified within the subtribe Rupicaprina, which belongs to the tribe Naemorhedini, which also now belongs to the subfamily Ovibovinae, Ovibovinae is a subfamily of bovids that are mostly native to temperate or cold-climate habitats, there are three majors tribes within Ovibovinae, Hemitragini (Tahrs), Naemorhedini (Gorals, Serows, Chamoises, and Mountain Goat), and Ovibovini (Muskox and Takin), Ovibovinae is most closely related to the subfamilies Hippotraginae (Grazing Antelope) and Alcelaphinae (Hartebeest, Wildebeests, Hirola, and Tsessebees).

[@rafiqul84]

Some of the comments on this video I swear to God LOL

[@TT-go5yb]

that woma has no reason to put her life at risk to climb a mountain. is she a GOAT !!!

[@amyjohns0n814]

[@mbcline]

Aspect ratio is wrong

[@mohammadsshaharom5807]

god is great..

[@Nick889999]

mohammads shaharom evolution actually made them this way......

[@mohammadsshaharom5807]

did evolution create time? or bigbang..?

[@KumarSpeaks2024]

mohammads shaharom did God create time or big bang?

[@mohammadsshaharom5807]

What is before time.. And how can time exist with 365 days.. And the nature is become a perfect system and manufacture.. This is all is a creation.. Look at your self.. How can people the only one creature who only a species like us..

[@elr1cbros]

mohammads shaharom Muhammad the prophet probably had a little dick

[@lightsrallon907]

Silly humans. You can't compete with animals! They fly, run and climb better.... and they don't pollute the planet with oil drilling, gas fracking or pesticides... or need to start wars! We should all be in awe of them.

[@TheArtofUTube]

Hey its Tom Brady the G.O.A.T. not falling off the cliff.

[@richman2601]

I've found Xaneleon's cousins :D

[@DarkSoraFFno]

What makes you think animals and humans are different? We are all developed carbon-organic matter, just at different stages.
