Spider-Goats go grazing on near-vertical dam

First Marvel Comics gave us Spider-Man, then the Simpsons gave us Spider-Pig, and now Italy has give us a new set of superheroes: the Spider-Goats.


OK, so it's not the Hoofer Dam, but these goats are taking risks of an extreme nature on the Cingino barrier in Northern Italy,




The group of Ibex goats clamber up the almost vertical 160ft-high wall to roll their tongues over the stones.

It is thought they enjoy the salt and minerals to be extracted from licking the rocks.

But one slip and they could be dead in a heart bleat.
