Wonder how many dead goats are at the base of the damn.  Me thinks I should set up a barbeque pit at the bottom and just wait for em to fall in.  Mmmmmm cabrito.

Yes those goats will stand there and sleep. They do the same thing high up in the mountains so that they can rest without worry of predators.  Now they will be screwed if the eagles start getting bigger.

We used to own goats and goats do shit like that just to do shit like that.
You'd never know where you'd find them next.
Goat: Hey I got an idea, lets walk out on this cliff (dam) just for the hell of it.
Rest of the Goats: yeah yeah oh good idea let's do that.
Then they all walk around till they get bored.
Seriously.
Goats are just a funny animal, kinda like autistic kids, you're never sure what they'll do next or
what might attract their attention.

I wish I could find this one vid I saw where eagles would pick up mountain goats and throw them off a cliff as a method of hunting. It was insane.

Very interesting how the hunting techniques of animals and humans evolve in certain regions.

And some people don't believe in evolution


And thats all I have to say about that

this is proof as to why Darwin was wrong.

these goats did not evolve to overcome.... they got stupid.

whales beach themselves... dumb

squirrels run out into the road.... dumb

birds fly into my bedroom window.... dumb

dogs eat cat poop..... dumb


if Darwin had been right... the goats would have grown thumbs to better hold a coffee mug and hung out at starbucks like civilized beings do.

There was an episode of Life that had some goats on it (I believe they were in Afghanistan or somewhere near there) that would climb ridiculous cliffs to avoid the foxes that were stalking them.  It was really amazing.

That whole series was really amazing for the most part, though I could've done without Oprah as the narrator.
