Don't be sexist, there are Nanny goats too.

Then you can just lick the salt off your hands, instead of climbing the dam.

I wonder if we could line a stew pot up under one of them? Then launch a balloon of virgin olive oil at its feet.

Here's a shot from the bottom of the dam. It looks like they have a snow covering to contend with, also.

Too much salt seems to be bad news for goats as well as humans...

Naw, that's not snow. You'd see it in the shade of the grassy area. That's old concrete leaching all sorts of stuff.

You're probably right, the original pictures show them on stones, but the lower part could be smoother concrete/mortar with leached out efflorescence.

Happened upon another picture of the Alpine Ibex, on the dam wall, in Gran Paradiso National Park, Northern Italy.

It still blows me away they can do that.

I just sent this to Lil' Pete, maybe she'll find a way to see them.
