What happens in this picture is absolutely beyond me. All I know is that it was taken in Italy, and the goats in case (Alpine Ibex) are climbing the walls of the dam to lick the salt off the construction. Click on the picture to make it larger.

Yea they are licking wall looking for mineral salt. The dam is on Cingino lake, in Piemonte region (46.032011,8.035984).
You can watch some videos of ibex climbing if you’ll search “diga del lago Cingino” or “stambecco” on youtube.

I have seen similar goats in the eastern part of Crete island (Greece). They were not climbing over the dam, but shouted very unexpectedly near my car while I was driving towards the Vai beach over the silent mountain road.
