These goats always fascinated me. Like what the actual fuck? Why? Then when they eventually do make a mistake and fall they just like hop down the side of the mountain and/or tumble 100m they just hop right back up like nothing ever happened.
The razor's edge of evolutionary advantage in predator/prey relationships makes for some pretty interesting scenarios.
Most of the times they won't hop right back up, I think, but these educational videos about animals target children so it won't be such a good idea to show fucked up goats or other animals.
Imagine you are an animal videographer and have to film dozens of goats falling to their death just to get one which miraculously survived.
What's with lemmings trying to have me imagine bad stuff? 🙁
I mean… the alternative exists…
From a natural selection perspective I don't think many goats die by falling.
Correct, they die from the fatal effects of hitting the ground.
not anymore
No, they die by being pushed off the cliff by a Golden Eagle.
I mean it's not the falling that gets them. It's the abrupt stop on the rocks below.
