Dang it! I was rooting for the snow leopard 🐆
Snow Leopard can't swim
Id be so dead if i were one of these animals. 😂
I tried using scented candles to set the mood, but they ended up smelling more like a forest fire than a romantic evening. Note to self: Stick to unscented next time🍒
Theses baby Goats are so cute glad the goat made it safely to its destination these baby Goats do a good Job mowing my lawn !😂thank you BBC HARTH great video 👍🏼
So fast that the camera can't even catch up❤️🔥
Another story of Felines and their legendary fear of water
Jaguars are very clever hunters
A little cutie, glad he escaped. The Snow Leopard was a bit unlucky, maybe next time.
This is an old video. I've watched it several times already! But it's still great. Thanks to the BBC and the team! ❤❤❤

When will the day come, when the entire human race becomes totally vegetarian and stops eating the beautiful creations of The Great Almighty God !
No creature compares to humans’ wildness
💯
its an old video…the picture quality is upgraded..thanks to the team
The animals that live here simply defy gravity! Amazing!
the title doesn't feel accurate. the baby goat escaped barely by falling into the river/water and the leopard did not want to go into the water… it got a little lucky
Tough life for these goats
imagine being the most fearsome animal in the mountains and be scared of water XD
The markhor is really smart because it knows that snow leopards are afraid of water! 👍👍👍

Team Mountain Goat here.
Great escape Billy 🐐 goat baby
this is my fav episode xxx
สวัสดีครับ😊❤
The leopard had the prey in its jaws and couldn’t hold on. That’s the first time I’ve seen a feline have its prey in its jaws and still lose it. If it was really motivated, you’d think it would be willing to swim for a meal, too.

How come you didn't say what part of the world this is in?
Good Parkour.
The scene at 2:33, where the kid goat makes the final leap to escape the leopard, was so thrilling! Does anyone have ideas on how kid goats train for these skills?
We should give our daughters also this training to save themselves from human predators!
