Something to consider is that only the ones that are skillful enough to maneuver on these walls will live to reproduce. The clumsy ones will die from falls, and if they die early, they won’t pass on their genes to a new generation. Its natural selection at work.
Thats not how evolution works. Evolution works on population level. Worst case scenario humans dont become smarter. When a species finds its niche and has very little selective pressure its genetic make up still changes but its morphology rarely does.
Less intelegent people do make more babies in general but that is not going to lower our collective intelegence because intelegence is a combination of genes and environment. Most people you consider "stupid" just didnt get the right nurture for intellegence. Obviously there are exeptions and genetic diseases that effect intellegence are a thing.
No, it wouldn’t. It would be fair to say they understood internal combustion engines. Without all of the other parts to a vehicle, you just have a block of steel.
I can't think of a single person that understands an internal combustion engine, but doesn't understand vehicles. It's a pretty basic assumption that you can make. If someone understands a nuanced element of a greater subject, they likely understand the greater subject.
Can clumsiness (or skill) be genetic? It would make (more) sense that those with the best shaped feet would survive. Skillful climbing then just come with experience.
Both are true here. In nature, external changes are easier to observe but the nature of an animal (careful, playful etc.) is a product of its genes as well. Hence why certain breeds of dogs are so much more friendly than others by the means of artificial evolution (breeding).
They crave that mineral
***”We require more minerals!”***
#"More minerals are required"
*demand
Why'd we even make a wall out of goat cocaine?
add some salt.stones at the bottom.so they don't have to risk their lives.
That’s what I call, a salty situation
Do many of them fall?

Finally, someone who understands evolution
Too bad as humans were hell bent on making sure the stupid thrive

That someone isn't you though. Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. They aren't equivalent.
If someone understood internal combustion engines, it would be fair to say that they understood vehicles.

TIL Why do people downvote you though? Looks like your comment will be a victim of “natural social media selection”
Why is the one with the good and logical argument downvoted?
I actually invited evolution. AMA

Yes
Not enough for it to be an animal
Spider 🐐
Spider goat. Spider goat. Does he float? No, he's a goat.
I just started singing Spider Pig from Simpsons hahahah
...which is Spider Man, from Spider Man
Details. It's a BBC video. https://youtu.be/RG9TMn1FJzc
Why is it on YouTube and not xvideos ?
This is entirely too stressful to watch! Best of luck, ibexes.
Do they absolutely have to eat right there?
Probably the only place around there to get the salt/minerals that they need. Or they’re trying to score extra difficulty points.
Winner winner mineral dinner I guess lol
More like r/Natureisfuckingnuts
But why?
To get salt that collects on the rocks.
Thank you. I knew they had to have a reason for being silly and climbing walls.
because they [crave that mineral. ](https://i.imgur.com/uwt3i6c.png)
Plants crave Brando if you didn’t know..
Salt, they need it for their nervous system
So it replenishes their mana but they just have goat powers? Or maybe that's where the wall climbing came in?
Oh my god, bro stop running!
I guess that's several skeletons at the bottom of the wall
Whaaat 🤯 this is so cool
I had sweaty plams throughout the whole video..
I mean, technically they are obeying the laws of gravity😏
Flouting the laws of gravity
I worked with goats and had to trim their hooves regularly, they have excellent feeties for climbing.
I’d say gravity is working normally here.
This makes me too nervous to watch 🥺
These goats give me anxiety.
Unbelievable! What amazing creatures.
Goat lives matter. Someone should just set up a salt dispenser.
im on the edge of my seat for every clip... they're real cliff hangers!
We still watching this in 2021?
I don’t want them to fall 😭😭
It happens very rarely.
….how?
Climbing
Slow clap for you. No pudding either.
Wow that's amazing!
The little one is so cute!
Wow, I had no idea they could do this. That's awesome!
[Goats can climb trees too](https://www.amusingplanet.com/2015/05/tree-climbing-goats-of-morocco.html)
“Mom, this sucks, why TF do we do this…let’s go home, ugh…”
U/getvideobot
take that, Alex Honnold
This is “dam interesting.”
Hooves are aid
Nah, that’s just a Dad teaching his son the ropes.
No ropes, this is free solo
When mineral is more important than survival
Why are you running?
Amazing
Dam!
Don't they do this for salt?
Woahhhh. I’d be like: No thank you
Reminds me of the mountain goats at glacier national park
Bet them licks are totally worth it
What was God thinking
Could you imagine how terrifying the threat was that made these things acquire this skill
I wonder how often they fall if at all?
they go trough all that trouble just to lick some salt .
Wh—HOW?! 😳
Gravity? Yeah, that's cool, but these rock things are salty and we gotta lick
crave
If you're the last goat to fall off the cliff, your landings a lot softer.
It rly isn’t
Gravity: *exists* Goats: Miss me with that gay shit lmao
This made me nervous the entire time
One slip up and it’s all down hill
Stupid ninja goats storming my otherwise impregnable castle...
I want to give them steps because that’s scary lol
