13 pictures of crazy goats on cliffs
I suppose, since it’s their instinct, these goats climbing around on cliffs aren’t literally insane. It’s just what they do.
But still…crazy.

Whose wild idea was the mountain goat?!
Amazing!
Incredible! It appears death is imminent for several.
What they didn’t show was the picture of the pile of dead goats at the bottom of a cliff.
Piles of bones.
Apparently goats are fearless. And not very bright.
You are so wrong. They are not “fearless”, but their genetic capable for balance is maybe the best among the mammal tetripodas.
Isn’t that intelligence ?
Also, it requires a lot of brain to do that. Actually, physical exercise it the most brain-demanding motion a creature can do. It requires a whole lot of co-operation of differnt parts of the brain.
Ask any scientist.
This is what mountain goats DO. Seems dangerous to us, but they’ve evolved to be very surefooted.
evolved, Really,U got know that our God the Lord Jesus Christ made them that way in the begaining. We will be praying for U
Judging by your grammar and spelling skills you could use a rather large dose of evolution. We will be laughing at U.
Thank you Talia, for putting the mouth breathing creationist in their place. We will be laughing at your willful ignorance “Rick Standlee.” I’ve got to love those goats though. P.S. in what religion is The Lord Jesus Christ their God, and not God’s son?
That’s the Christian religion Steve, where God is regarded as the Father, the Son and the holy spirit. People should be slammed a lot less for their beliefs. Just because some of the aspects of what we believe may be incompatible, there is no reason for conflict caused by differences between creationist and biological evolutionist thought.
That aside, these are some hilarious and incredible pictures!
Suppose the grass is greener up there?
I can do that.
On Skyrim.
(I’ll spare you another arrow to the knee comment)
I’d Fus Ro Dah those goats right off the cliff!
Now I know why those tufts of grass grow in the rock outcroppings. So the goats have something to munch on while they are up there.
The first thought I had was, “Wow. It looks like that goat is standing next to the cliff, in mid-air, not actually on the cliff.” My second thought was, “I wonder how many goat carcasses are at the foot of that cliff.”
5, 12, and 13 are sheep. Just saying.
OMG… how do they do this? How come they don’t fall? I don’t get it…
