Gravity-defying ‘spider-sheep’ are blowing the internet’s mind

The laws of physics are no match for these super “spider-sheep.”

Twitter users are losing their minds over a video of Himalayan “blue” sheep, casually descending an impossibly steep hill — one that only an experienced rock climber might attempt.

The video, shared by conservation biologist Imogene Cancellare, documents the wonders of these gravity-defying sheep, also called bharal, in the Valley of the Cats, in the Tibetan region of China.

And these sheep — which are actually a species of goat — don’t need your feeble carabiners and ropes to make their death-defying stroll down the side of a cliff.

“Blue sheep doing the impossible, per usual, in the Valley of the Cats, China,” wrote Cancellare, in the social media post.

Naturally, Twitter could not fathom the feat.

“This is wild. My brain is having trouble processing which way is up,” said @bpu77.

“This is 1,000 times better than Spiderman!” claimed @GinjahBird.

Many try to reason with the unbelievable shot by claiming it’s oriented deceptively, by pointing out the vertically growing trees. But academic social media gave them a quick lesson in dendrology (that’s the study of wooded plants).

“I think the video is at the wrong angle so it makes it appear worse than it is. Tree grow up not sideways,” tweeted @theoldshopreno.

Corrected @PodConnoisseur, “Trees grow whichever way the sun is. Up, down, and sideways.” (Facts, by the way.)

Look close and find that the blue sheep are, in fact, climbing rocks. But their effortless stability and blasé attitudes make it seem as if they are going for a leisurely walk down a cliff face.

The bharal, also called naur, grow only a few feet tall and weigh under 200 pounds. They eat mostly grass and lichen, and prefer to hang out (so to speak) near the rocky slopes and cliffs of Nepal and Tibet, as the treacherous terrain makes for an ideal escape route. Unless, of course, they’re running from a leopard — another one of nature’s climbing experts.
