This is the amusing moment a herd of Bharals scaled steep rocky mountains.
Xiao Qi spotted dozens of blue sheep effortlessly navigating the precipitous terrain in Qinghai, China, on December 18.
The animals were seen climbing the landscape to indulge in salt deposits found on the cliffs.
The footage shows the hoofed creatures gracefully ascending the mountains and seemingly 'flying' as they descended with remarkable ease.
Bharals, also known as rock sheep, can scale cliffs with gradients as steep as 90 degrees at speeds of up to 30 kilometres per hour, moving as if walking on flat ground.
Salt is an essential nutrient for these animals, helping to maintain proper hydration and support various bodily functions.
