I once met a group of goats at the top of a mountain, they weren't really looking for salt but they were very curious and one was particularly cuddly, followed us around for like 15 minutes, quite impressive to see them jumping around like it was nothing right next to massive drops, quite a fun memory
Wow! That goat was really low on salt. Hikers,be sure to carry a managable amount of local natural rock salt to avoid this. It'll keep both you and the animals you might encounter safe.
@DEDLI If you think knowing a simple fact and stating it makes you a scientist then you must struggle just to wash and feed yourself. If you think doubting something demonstrates your own intelligence then you have no concept at all of what intelligence even is.
Who? Humans or the Goats? I think the goat approached the human. Are you a goat? Most of us humans are approachable and we like salt too but it isn't our primary motive for climbing mountains like yourselves. Respect, from a human
@@dxi8 That's right!. And just a note for that 'one illiterate, solitary, adolescent salty human' . We prefer to be known has 'Oreamnos americanus' just so we got that right. Also, 'respect' (feel soooo 'stupid' using that 'street' lingo) to those like us Oreamnos americanus who have the 'balls, stamina, intelligence (and 'maturity') to adventure up to such heights...and out of their single bedded loney 'adolescent' bedrooms. Respect from a 'goat'.
They get real aggressive in some areas here in the NW and aren't against attacking people who dare stop them from getting their salt lick. They'll even lick rocks that people pee on.
There was a torture method long ago that the Roman Catholics used to do, to interrogate people called goat lick?, where it involve goats licking salt from their feet, they would tie them down and dip their feet in salt water and would have goats lick the salt from their feet vigorous times and for days on?, until the skin wears away and the goats would start licking into their flesh' where their brain couldn't handle it anymore and die of instant shock, there's quite a few videos on TH-cam that talks about if you want to search it.
For mountain goats, gravity isn't a law, it's more like...a guideline. Mountain goat hooves facilitate fancy footwork. Just as human rock climbers use their fingers to maneuver their way up a wall, mountain goat hooves have two toes that spread and allow them to grab onto small rocky features. This helps goats maintain their balance while roaming the mountains. Furthermore, the base of each toe is covered in a rough pad that creates a surface akin to climbing shoes. Studies have focused on their ability to propel itself up cliffsides, and biologists attribute the skill to strong hindlimbs and specialized neck and shoulder muscles. While these mountain goats aren't native to the Olympic Peninsula, a cool creature that IS native to the Olympic Peninsula is the endemic Olympic marmot. Marmots are a type of squirrel, and Olympic marmots are about the size of a domestic cat, typically weighing about 8 kg (18 pounds) in summer. A colony may contain as few as one marmot family or multiple families with up to 40! Olympic marmots are very sociable animals which often engage in play fighting and vocalize four different whistles to communicate.
This goat lives in the Olympics, which have no rock salt so salt is hard for them to find. Mountain goats aren't native to the Olympics. I can't remember why but they were introduced there in the early 1900s. However they are native to the nearby Cascade mountains, which DO have rock salt. Since mountain goats in the Olympics get very little salt naturally, they are much more bold and/or aggressive toward humans in the Olympics than in the Cascades. Generally goats in the Cascades keep to themselves. Thankfully a project has been underway to remove the goats from the Olympics. A few goats remain since the part of the Olympics they live in is too rugged and remote to reach with the equipment needed
For people who don’t know, not only are billy goats extremely territorial and aggressive. But they’re also incredibly strong and unless you know how to handle them, they could hurt/kill a large grown man. They’re no joke. So if this every happens to you, let the goat do his thing and while they’re licking, look for a way to get somewhere safe in case it turns aggressive. The goat might be licking you innocently, then the next second charging you full speed, repeatedly. Cute as they may seem, they’re very dangerous animals especially for women, children, the elderly, etc.
@@kevindication 🤣🤣🤣 that’s the best course of action! I’ve raised many billy goats. I’d be lying if I said they’re my favorite animal. They are a pain, literally and metaphorically lol.
Ive been around dozens of mountain goats.....never had one act agressive in anyway. That said, a big male gored and killed a guy at Victor Pass atop the Switchback in the ONP 7-8 years ago.
Yah, I carry salt with me everywhere, you know, in the event that while downtown I run into a couple of mountain goats, or goaty looking homeless guys. God forbid they should start licking me.
Here's some more info about mountain goats: They are native to the Rockies of Colorado, Montana, and Idaho, the Cascades, and up to southern Alaska. Canada's British Columbia contains half of the total mountain goat population. This is the Olympic Peninsula, which they were introduced to in the 1920s. They're doing this to lick salt, as the Olympic Mountains lacks natural salt licks unlike the Cascades. It was chosen to eradicate the Olympic population and relocate them to the Cascades after aggressive encounters, including one where a hiker was killed in 2010, though this process has been slow because of the fact they're found at such high altitudes. Despite their name, they're not in the Capra genus, which is the genus that contains all goats. Thus, they are not true goats. Instead, they're the only living ones in the genus Oreamnos! In the high-altitude environments, sometimes above 13,000 ft, they are the largest mammal! Mountain goats are about three and a half feet tall at the shoulder, and weigh between 150 and 220 pounds. Their coats help them to withstand winter temperatures as low as −46 C (−51 F) and winds of up to 160 kilometers per hour (99 mph)! Human attacks are rare, but they can be quite aggressive towards each other. When they're grouped together, they display, charge, and engage in mini-duels four or five times per hour.
Those are called Roosevelt goats and they're not native to the Olympics Teddy Roosevelt reintroduced them and they're a huge problem. They kill people.
The national parks had a problem with this a while back cause the goats were becoming aggressive with visitors. They tranquilized a bunch and had them airlifted further away from the highly-traveled areas. Normally they get salt from rocks up high on the mountains but when they found out we have salt on our skin they would climb on top of people to get the salt. Mind you these are not small animals by any means and their hooves can be quite sharp too.
That's right. If suddenly you meet a mountain goat and if it licks you, then just let it do its thing. There was one idiot who shouted at a goat and as a result, this fool got large bruises. He's lucky he didn't die.
I would be scared af. how was he able to leave? I feel like the mountain goat would never stop licking me because I'd be covered in sweat... but I wouldn't be able to stop it
Not only that but with all that licking, any mosquito repellent and sunscreen is now gone and will need to be reapplied (and quickly if they are really high up!).
I had the same thing happen to me while taking a nap on the top of Rock Mountain east of Steven's Pass October of 1994. He woke me up and stood on his hind legs facing me when I came to. Not aggressive--just sniffing out that salt. It was hilarious.

Short Story: In the summer of 1989 I climbed a small mountain near Denali Park in Alaska. I was living/working at a tourist stop (Salmon Bake restaurant and tent cabins) down near the highway at the base and decided to see how far up I could get on my day off. When I climbed up enough ridges to reach the bottom of the cloud layer there was a bunch of Dall sheep off in the distance at the base of the next leg up. It was at the point where the tundra and grass layer gave way to stretches of loose rock. I made my way toward them, but by the time I reached their location they were gone. Thought about continuing up, but the clouds were moving in fast and visibility was getting poor. Got worried I might lose my bearings or slip on some loose rocks and fall into the cloudy area below which I couldn't see properly. Made my way back down to the camp as night was falling and took a long hot shower. Still remember the song I sang in the shower--Roy Orbison's "She's A Mystery to Me"
“The Roman army required salt for its soldiers and for its horses and livestock. At times soldiers were even paid in salt, which was the origin of the word salary and the expression “worth his salt” or “earning his salt.” In fact, the Latin word sal became the French word solde, meaning pay, which is the origin of the word, soldier.” ― Mark Kurlansky, Salt: A World History
Everybody who thinks they do this to get salt is wrong. When hiking two years ago, I had a similar encounter. The animal approached me, thou it was initially quite shy, and started licking my triceps. Immediately I thought of spicebox I had in the top pouch of my backpack. I took a sachet of salt out, and I put some on my hand, thinking the beast gonna love it. I moved it towards its snout. The furry critter stopped licking me for a bit, and stuck it's wet nostrils into the white powder, and then retracted it half a second later, raised its head, one of its huge black eyes staired right into mine. We froze for a moment. Goaties eye disappeared suddenly behind its eyelid, like it wanted to glimps at its cortex. Then the animal turned its head away from me, and when I thought it got upset, and is going to walk away from me, it suddenly turned back to my arm, and commensed to lick it passionately again. They are not after salt, they are just salacious perverts.
The way he's going about this it makes me wonder if you're not the first. At some point McGoat here discovered climbers were really just a mobile salt lick so he goes to town now anytime a people comes to visit.
Can you imagine having the confidence to walk up to a complete stranger in the middle of the wilderness and begin vigorously licking their leg?
There are videos of that
Damn, couldn't be me

For mountain goats, gravity isn't a law, it's more like...a guideline. Mountain goat hooves facilitate fancy footwork. Just as human rock climbers use their fingers to maneuver their way up a wall, mountain goat hooves have two toes that spread and allow them to grab onto small rocky features. This helps goats maintain their balance while roaming the mountains. Furthermore, the base of each toe is covered in a rough pad that creates a surface akin to climbing shoes. Studies have focused on their ability to propel itself up cliffsides, and biologists attribute the skill to strong hindlimbs and specialized neck and shoulder muscles.

I was living/working at a tourist stop (Salmon Bake restaurant and tent cabins) down near the highway at the base and decided to see how far up I could get on my day off. When I climbed up enough ridges to reach the bottom of the cloud layer there was a bunch of Dall sheep off in the distance at the base of the next leg up. It was at the point where the tundra and grass layer gave way to stretches of loose rock. I made my way toward them, but by the time I reached their location they were gone. Thought about continuing up, but the clouds were moving in fast and visibility was getting poor. Got worried I might lose my bearings or slip on some loose rocks and fall into the cloudy area below which I couldn't see properly. Made my way back down to the camp as night was falling and took a long hot shower. Still remember the song I sang in the shower--Roy Orbison's "She's A Mystery to Me"
Nigga what that gave to do with this video lol
@@MichaelDeMersLAHe never promised a story related to this video
Lmao now we have to ask if it was a SHORT story
Was waiting for a some kind of sequel salt story 😢
This is like a Grandad story that doesn't really have relevance to anything and there's no punchline but I liked it anyway
How does that not tickle 🤣
I want a pet goat now!
It tickled. It was weird.
It's not all fuzz and kisses - I've never had a bad experience with a goat myself but I hear from my more rural friends that they're ferocious
Goat: “I haven’t had one of these in years! Hold still.”
Some other videos on youtube tell a different story.
Oh boy! Here come the walking salt packets! 😃🍟
That goat got what it wanted that day.
This was in my recommendations TODAY. Beautiful. 🙏🏼♥️☮️
Glad you liked it. It was like meeting God that day.
It's all fun and games till you're standing on the edge sightseeing taking in the view and he decides to head butt you. 😆
If tht were me I would be able to stop giggling❤ so cute
It was a weird experience. I giggled a bit.
Yes , they need salt
They do.

I can’t imagine how that felt. Their tongues are so soft!
“The Roman army required salt for its soldiers and for its horses and livestock. At times soldiers were even paid in salt, which was the origin of the word salary and the expression “worth his salt” or “earning his salt.” In fact, the Latin word sal became the French word solde, meaning pay, which is the origin of the word, soldier.”
― Mark Kurlansky, Salt: A World History
Surprisingly calm around people for a wild animal.
Knows if he loses his shit he'll get shot like his brother.
@@kevindication lol
The Moment I closed my eyes listening to the licking sound.☠️
I hate my dirty mind. 😂
True story.
This guys Rizz must be over 9000!
My wife does this to me too.
It’s a wonderful feeling
Thanks for the info
She also does it me . I can confirm it is a wonderful feeling.
Plot twist: He married a goat.
She's my wife too.
I didn’t need to know that.
If your goat homie don't greet you like this after climbing a mountain, he ain't a real homie
Agreed
You're lucky to be alive, thats clearly a polarbear!
You are correct. The genetic markers are clear. What a complex creature this polar bear.
I totally forgot that mountain goats love salt, He must of LOVED The idea of a living infinite salt mine 😂

I think the goat enchanted you with an ability to climb mountain like they always do
The one time you can call a man salty and have it not be considered an insalt.
I see what you did here
Goat: "Mmmmm this a weirdly yumy salt lick"
How amazing is this!!! ❤️ I think he needs a salt like.
He likes the salt a lot
Everybody who thinks they do this to get salt is wrong.
When hiking two years ago, I had a similar encounter. The animal approached me, thou it was initially quite shy, and started licking my triceps. Immediately I thought of spicebox I had in the top pouch of my backpack. I took a sachet of salt out, and I put some on my hand, thinking the beast gonna love it. I moved it towards its snout. The furry critter stopped licking me for a bit, and stuck it's wet nostrils into the white powder, and then retracted it half a second later, raised its head, one of its huge black eyes staired right into mine. We froze for a moment. Goaties eye disappeared suddenly behind its eyelid, like it wanted to glimps at its cortex. Then the animal turned its head away from me, and when I thought it got upset, and is going to walk away from me, it suddenly turned back to my arm, and commensed to lick it passionately again.
They are not after salt, they are just salacious perverts.
Baphomet has left the chat.
Geez
@@kevindication😂
"I'm done when I say we're done." - 🐐
Yeah I had to bounce when he bit my chin
@@kevindication hehe, that's so cool though
The way he's going about this it makes me wonder if you're not the first. At some point McGoat here discovered climbers were really just a mobile salt lick so he goes to town now anytime a people comes to visit.
These are amazing animals of the high country. How often do you see Mountain Goats get close to humans like this??
Not often
This goat is The GOAT! 🐐
It’s all fun and games until the goat engulfs in flames and suffocates you with sulfur demanding you give him your first born son
