I did a post a while back that showcased photos of goats in strange places. It was at that point in my life that I finally realised just how amazing goats really are. Before that point I thought that sharks, or gorillas, or anacondas were the best, I was wrong. I mean, those animals are cool but goats are the best, and by quite a long way. Goats have a lot of the kinds of attributes I look for in a person. They are pretty dumb, they’ll eat anything and they’re great at jumping about.
I came across this selection of incredible goat GIFs this morning and suddenly my day seemed a little less pointless and a lot more excellent. I realised that if I treated life with the same healthy disregard as these goats I would be much happier, if a little more bruised. So I’m passing the baton of joy onto you my dear friends…

They can perform in complete unison. It’s as if their minds have melded:

This one is great because he leaps like a Lord and takes out a child:
Do you think they even know how cool they are?
I’m not sure they do…
Not quite bright enough to recognise their own reflection though:

And you thought base jumpers were hardcore? They ain’t nothin’ on a goat:
For no other reason than he can:

Yup:
Even the jumpiest animals on the planet – horses – don’t mind mucking about with goats:
… see… doesn’t even lift an eyebrow. Goat and horse harmony. We could all learn a thing or two about this kind of love…
