If he could of photographed them taking a dump at the same time, that would have been historic.

Came to say 'Old pic is old' but i see that's covered here.

Silais: Ambivalence: Koalas have two opposable thumbs which allows them to climb trees with great skill.

Goats have no thumbs. This should not be possible.

Snakes don't even have limbs. But they can climb trees.

Try that one on for size.

Are we now discussing the size of your snake? In a goat thread?

Yep.
Also, the kid isn't a shepherd, he's a goatherd. Well, if he's either. I think perhaps he just happened to be walking by and has nothing whatsoever to do with the goats.
High on the hill lived the lonely goatherd.

I have a leg of goat in my freezer. I think that I will thaw it out for this weekend.

Mmmm.

This just in...

Goats Like to Climb!!

/Who knew??
//Sorta surprised that there isn't a reference to the goat that shall remain nameless
///see??
////don't ban me bro...

It is my belief that these goats are laborin' under the misapprehension that they're birds.

What a crazy, totally original picture which we've never seen before.

Note how the woman is wearing red. She must be a whore.

Looks like the waiting room outside Theo Epstein's office.

"Harold! Come back, Harold!"

You did the second half that I couldn't figure out how to spell! Good job!

".....the sun was there"

Well duh! The picture was taken in daylight! Ofcourse the sun was there!

PHOTOSHOP is a fun tool!

I remember the last time they posted this. Wasn't even a year ago.

But was there a llama?

Yes. 10000 to be precise. Of the mexican dancing variety.

Good. I came in looking for that. Isn't that supposed to have been the very first Python sketch?

In all seriousness for a change, I have some disturbing news for you.

Goats routinely climb argan trees in order to get the argan fruit (more like an olive). The people who harvest the argan fruit are really just going after the pit inside, from which the highly-prized argan oil is made. This is like olive oil, but much better, and the trees only grow in a particular area of Morocco, which means that if you can find argan oil in the US, it's damned expensive, but totally worth it, especially if you're into Moroccan cooking.

The reason the people don't shoo the goats away (aside from the inadvisability of such a task, if you know goats) is that the pits are just as usable after traveling through the goats as they are before. So they wait for them to come out the other end, clean them off, and add them to the press.

Delicious!

They make coffee (new window) the same way

Jesus H. Christ. People are putting up the Goatmas decorations earlier and earlier every goddamned year.

I took a similar picture ten years ago at the En Gedi Nature Reserve in Israel - the Ibex climb into the tree to eat the leaves from above.

I regret that I have but one brain to explode. Besides snakes practically are one giant limb. a twistly finger. I just don't get how such a big animal with HOOVES can be so freaking surefooted.

People have actual toes that can grip stuff and we can't even get close to where goats can go. It's like they defy the laws of physics.

Behold, the klipspringer.

They can climb up sheer rock walls. They can jump and land on a rock face the size of a quarter. And they have hooves. No thumbs.


I remember an episode of Jeff Corwin where he goes to Morocco and talks about the tree-climbing goats. They were falling out of the tree so he jokes "It's raining goats!"
Good times.
