Here's something you don't see every day. A goat. Hanging by his horns. On a power line.

As usual, I can't figure out how to post videos or pictures, but this goat figured out how to use a power line as a zip line. He's much smarter than me apparently. And so are the guys who rescued him. It all ends well.

3. So many thoughts come to mind

1) I wonder how much that hurts, to hang from one's horns like that.

2) Just string another one on and push it really hard to dislodge the first

3) He didn't even stick around to thank them!

4) Wonder if any of those guys eat goat and were considering that, except he ran away

5) When they finally put the rope around his foot, yeah, that's when the goat figures it's in trouble

4. Goats are very clever escape artists.

I remember being at the zoo as a kid in the "farmhouse" area.

A baby goat jumped on the back of a sheep that was near the fence. That gave him enough height that he was up and over the fence lickety-split!!

It was pretty entertaining watching the zookeepers trying to catch him and put him back.
