@edgarblythe,

Jeanne Voelker My friend the crow who watches me eat, then waits his turn for leftovers. My friend who follows me when I drive to the grocery store. Then, when I get out of my car, he swoops down to the pavement near me in a saucy way, as if to say, "Look Mom! I found you!" He and his mate also followed me to Richmond Beach and hopped along near me in whichever direction I walked. I think it's their game. In this photo, his head is down on the right.

Binturong (aka bearcat; not a bear, not a cat). Most unusual feature: it smells like buttered popcorn.

And yet sloths aren't welcome to work at Amazon (well at least not in any Amazon warehouses).

@edgarblythe,

My question is 'How does a goat do that?'

0 Replies

Was used in research 29 years. Now retired to a sanctuary. Is playful and fits well into the group.

There are no predators up there.

@tsarstepan,

I'm not seeing that as a safe alternative.

First of all, they can. Second (not sure about the species of goat or geographic location) some goats risk life and limb to lick lichens that make them a little high. How they get back up when they're tipsy is their problem. Other goats, in other locations, risk life and limb to lick limestone, which has salt.

Maybe some are just Evel Kneivel goats.

BTW, re predators, snow leopards get to some mighty precarious places for a meal.

the animal fled just hours after it was caught, reportedly scaling three electric fences and a 13ft (4m) high barrier.
