I never knew goats had such gonads... wowzers

These incredible pictures show Alpine Ibex goats wandering across the face of the near-vertical dam in Northern Italy without a care in the world.

The gravity-defying goats typically live in very steep and rocky terrain at altitudes of up to to 4,600m and have no fear of falling whether climbing up or down the 160ft dam wall.

And they aren't doing it just to show off.

It is thought the goats are actually grazing, licking the stones for their salts.

Apparently the ibex like to eat the moss and lichen off the stone, and to lick the salt off the dam wall.
