Dam goats

[Botch]

These are mountain goats on the face of Buffalo Bill Dam, near Cody, WY. Amazing!

Sorry Botch, but my dad emailed me this the other day. Upon looking into it, I found the Buffalo Bill Dam website. Check out the scrolling letters at the top!

Upon further investigation, it appears that this isn't photoshopped though, just misreported. It looks like it's a dam in Italy, and the animals are Ibex goats.

still.. how the heck can an animal look at that, think its a good idea, and go "sure, i can climb that" its not like there was food on the side or something

You know, as a longtime nature photographer I should've noticed those weren't North American mountain goats... :spank: Thanks for the info!

LMFAO....I cant stop laughing at that...you ask why would they climb that?....because they can lol

That just seems impossible, but I hear goats like to be at the top of everything.

Goats are so much cooler than they look! How do they do that?
It looks like some of them are nibbling at the wall.

There's speculation on the intertubes that they are:

1. eating something growing in the cracks
2. licking salt deposits
3. practicing their balance

Whatever the reason, it's pretty cool!
