🐐🏔️ These mountain #goats use specialized split hooves to climb nearly 90º angles in the Italian #Alps. Researchers found they risk these heights to obtain #salt and #minerals not found in their high-altitude #diet.

Long, rough night last night. Up until two with the labor of one of my goats. She had twins, but one was stillborn. Today I feel like I was beaten by a rugby team.

I’m just glad the mother goat is alright. No hemorrhaging.
