High-altitude mountaineers got a shock when two goats sprinted down a mountainside and made it look easy. Thankfully, someone caught the goats’ epic mountain sprints on video.

The footage first shows one goat careening down a steep, snowy slope, leaping to clear a large pile of rocks but never losing its footing. The goat runs all the way down the slope until it’s just a speck of brown. Then, the person recording pans back up, where a second goat is now making its way down the same slope at breakneck speed. It’s incredible that the goats can keep their feet and legs under them as they run this fast on slick snow.
It’s not clear what species these goats are, but they look like alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra). Without location information, it’s hard to know for sure.
