That’s remarkable! Even when on a snowmobile, a human would not be inclined (or perhaps able) to attempt with that speed. Nature clear designed that animal perfectly for that environment. Amazing.

This reminds me of my old dog freckles running down one side of a 20+ foot embankment then crossing the small river and running up the the opposite 20+ foot side. Still have no idea what she was chasing, but I was in disbelief. Animals are crazy incredible in so many ways.

This is not the first video that has captured a goat and its physics-defying antics. In January this year, a video of a goat climbing a wall almost vertically had gone viral. The undated clip, posted by an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, showed the goat climbing a wall in just a few vertical jumps.

Another video that showed a herd of goats carefully jumping over concrete blocks as fast water gushes past them also went viral after IPS officer Dipanshu Kabra shared it on Twitter in July.
