How can goats climb very steep slopes?

Goats are creatures specializing in climbing steep slopes. Even the most competent climbers need safety equipment such as rope, rock nail, hammer, seat belt during rock climbing. Mountain goats can climb even 60-degree slope lands.

It is believed that the center of gravity of the bodies of mountain goats close to the ground, the structure of the body shapes and hooves allow them to move balancedly on steep slopes. The outer parts of the hooves of the mountain goats are hard, while the soles are soft and flexible. In this way, they make it easier to hold by taking the shape of small ledges on steep slopes. It is estimated that mountain goats' strong neck and shoulder muscles make it easier for them to climb steep slopes.
