Goats, who knows the fear of heights

Each animal occupies a special niche in the environment in which this species survives as he can. Wild mountain goats have taken a very strange and almost inaccessible to other animals niche — and dangerous high mountain cliffs. These goats are not crazy, after all these steep mountains provide them with many benefits, including protection from land predators, the food delicious and the minerals that they love to lick.

The harsh wind blew over these cliffs, sweeping away the snow and reveal the coarse grass and mineral salts, which are for these goats are a true delicacy.

Many of the goats presented here was photographed in the Rocky mountains of the United States.

This is actually a mountain antelope, however, some of the "climbers" on the pictures, for example ibex and chamois, the genus of true goats.

All these animals have special adaptations that allow them to wander the steep slopes and cliffs their mountain habitat.

Unlike the horses ' hooves, the hooves of goats forked, and then animals are better able to distribute your weight.

The hooves are soft in the center, while their edges are hard and firm, allowing the animals to "catch" for any, even the tiny cracks or uneven rocky surface.

Some of them are even hard and rough pads of skin between the hooves to help them cling to the rock surface.
