The Mail reports that a goat, trapped on a cliff in England for five days, was about to be rescued from a team descending 70 feet down toward the cliff, when the goat decided to jump off the cliff… to what appears in this video to be obvious safety. (And after giving a grand illusion of danger, we suspect that the goat gleefully skipped off to Las Vegas to try to take over the Criss Angel Cirque Du Soleil show.)
3 Potentially More Embarrassing Days In The Life Of A Mountain Goat Rescuer
1. Trying to rescue the yodeler on the Price Is Right, instead of guessing the price of a box of Rice-A-Roni, and getting disqualified.
2. Trying to rescue a mountain goat from the side of the Luxor in the Criss Angel show, and then realizing you just tried to rescue a reflection in the pyramid’s glass.
3. Being demoted to Mounted Goat Rescuer. Yes, this means you have to ride goats down mountains. And since they seem to like to randomly jump off cliffs, this falls more into the “lousy job” than “embarrassing” category.
