Looking for more information on this - here is a BBC link (but not available in the US): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0413kqx

This is apparently a very favorite video to post everywhere but without a lot of background info.

Still - amazing feats of little feets.

Maybe us humans could make them some salt licks down near the base?

...where they can reach it more easily? Watching them climb that made me really nervous! That was a long drop!
