In fact, National Geographic claim that they can jump as high as 12 feet! This is thanks to their marvelously strong leg muscles, leg muscles that also mean mountain goats climb with as much ease as they walk! • Their hooves are two-toed and cloven, with pliable padding and a tough ‘outer shell’. These rubbery pads are able to spread apart, greatly improving the goat’s ability to balance and strengthening their grip. Their grip and overall strength is also helped by their aforementioned leg muscles, more specifically their front legs. Another great adaptation found in goats that enable them to climb so high is their thick coats! This dense layer of fur traps heat in, allowing the goat to keep nice and warm at high altitudes. It also repels water! • Source: https://naturecanada.ca/news/blog/hig... https://animal-club.co.uk/goats-climb... • • Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): • https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-macleod/mo... • License code: MQYATUIRECZKBJGV
