Himalayan goats, known as Thar, roam the rough mountain terrain around Nepal. In adapting to their treacherous environment these sure-footed creatures have developed some astounding climbing and leaping skills.

The mountain goat is one of the world’s best rock climbers. Its feet have inner pads for traction and cloven hooves that can spread apart for better grip. A dewclaw on the back of each foot also keeps it from slipping.

These goats are practically flying.
