@Builder,
Wonderful pictures!!!
I never send an e-mail without a picture of some sort, preferable fitting the subject. Hope you do not mind if I use some of them.

@edgarblythe,
I am repeatedly shocked at the climbing skills of goats. To look at them you wouldn't think they could climb an ant-hill much less a brick wall. Thanks.

@rosborne979,
I often wonder how many goats fall to their death. So far I have never heard of that happening.

They must fall sometimes, but I guess that wouldn't make the headlines.

Goats don't simply appear at these high perches? They don't have quantum teleportation?

@edgarblythe,
Photoshop and other such image formatting and editing programs make for pretty believable images. Seeing no obvious footholds for the goats to wedge their hooves and no reason why they'd be climbing that wall, I claim foul. Defying gravity is not in their resume.

That in no way takes away from their incredible abilities to climb their native areas rock faces and cliffs.

@Ragman,
I see footholds on that old ragged brick wall, so I find it credible (although amazing). But also not impossible that it's photo-shopped too.

I have my doubts about that photo.

@Roberta,
Possible, maybe, but they do sort of look like goat shaped refrigerator magnets.

@tsarstepan,
tsar, What is this? I know that the picture is of a great white, but what's the rest of it?

Some oceanographer/marine scientist has a sharkcentric Twitter account which I follow.
