A video of a mountain goat racing through snowy mountains has gone viral. A chamois, a goat-antelope native to European mountains, descends from the top of a mountain and glides down a deep valley in a couple of seconds in the fascinating video. The wild animal’s quick quickness and remarkable balance have awed netizens.
Perrot Couttet Zian, a snowboarder, originally released this footage on his Instagram account in March. His video quickly went viral on social media networks.

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 to show a goat performing physics-defying tricks. A video of a goat climbing a nearly vertical wall went viral in January of this year. The video, which was released by an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, shows the goat climbing a wall with only a few vertical hops.
Another video, showing a herd of goats cautiously hopping over concrete blocks as fast water gushed past them, went popular in July after IPS officer Dipanshu Kabra uploaded it on Twitter.
