High in the Kunlun Mountains of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, rare ibex goats – a species under national second-class protection – were recently caught on camera scaling near-vertical rock faces with remarkable ease. The footage shows them hugging sheer cliffs, leaping onto narrow ledges, and maintaining flawless balance. Known for their agility and resilience, these wild goats thrive in rugged, rocky terrain ranging from 3,500 to 6,000 meters in altitude. Their growing numbers in recent years have played a vital role in safeguarding local biodiversity and maintaining the region's ecological balance.
