Goats – The Quirky Companions
Goats may seem like humble farm animals, but don’t be fooled, they’re full of personality and unexpected talents! At Wyld Cards, we love our funky goats greeting card, but what makes goats so lovable? Let’s dive into some quirky fun facts about these cool animals that will have you grinning from ear to ear.
Master Mountaineers!
Goats are natural born climbers and are known for their incredible balance and agility. Whether they are balancing off a steep cliff or perching on the tiniest ledge, goats are basically the parkour experts of the animal world. In fact, certain goat breeds, like the mountain goat, can climb pretty much vertical slopes. Their daredevil nature is what makes goats such unique animals.
A Goats beard!
Have you ever noticed the long, wispy beards on goats? They’re not just for good looks you know! They have a purpose! Also, both male and female goats can grow beards! These beards can perform as a social signal within their herd. Goats are super expressive animals, and they use their beards, bleats, and body language to communicate with each other.
Movie stars!
Goats often appear in films as either humorous or mystical symbols due to their association with nature and, at times, the supernatural!
The Witch (2015) – This horror film features a black goat named Black Phillip, who plays a central role in the film’s unsettling atmosphere. The goat is associated with dark supernatural forces and becomes a symbol of evil. Spooky!
Jurassic Park (1993) – One of my favourite goat appearances is the legendary goat that was a sacrifice in the famous T-Rex paddock scene! While the goat itself isn’t a main character, it becomes an iconic part of the build up to the T-Rex attack.
The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) – This comedy film, starring George Clooney, is based on a book about military attempts to train soldiers in psychic abilities, including supposedly being able to kill goats by staring at them! Sounds more like a horror!
Goat Intelligence: they know what’s up!
Goats are surprisingly smart! Studies have shown that goats can solve complex problems and even remember how to solve them months later. They’ve also been found to communicate with humans in much the same way dogs do, using eye contact and body language to ask for what they want. With their sharp wits and playful personalities, goats are perfect for adding a little humour to your day.
