Have you ever sat in a state of deep contemplation and thought, “Oh, God, I would love to be a goat. “I would love to be a mountain goat”?
No. Me neither, until now…briefly…while looking at photos of these amazing climbing goats. Goats are goats, but these are, and dare I use the phrase, super goats! If these pictures don’t make you reevaluate everything you thought you knew about goats, then we’re just not on the same page (the page that, FYI, is full of goats).
These four images were published on Facebook last month by Jornal Ciencia and, with more than 70,000 shares, they have the potential to be considered a viral success.
Mountain goats are found in numerous alpine regions of North America. They use their specialized hooves, made up of double-pointed toes and rough pads, to climb nearly vertical terrain. No matter how good you think you are at rock climbing, this breed is definitely better (they don’t even use safety ropes).
