Defying Gravity
The young mountain goat at the top of this cliff stepped on some loose rocks and sent a small avalanche down towards his sister who had found a perch directly below him. If you zoom in you will see a dark black rock about the size of a grapefruit hurdling down which narrowly missed the lower goat. She did eventually get showered with a spray of dust at which point the mother called up and told the brother he was grounded for the rest of the day.
They all seem to be licking rocks as there was no greens anywhere in the vicinity - I should imagine it had to do with a need for a specific mineral in the diet. Don't ask me, I just take their pictures.
BTW I cannot for the life of me figure out how he got up there nor how he's going to find his way down but more to the point why he had to go up that high to begin with.
