Watch: Heart-Stopping Moment Mountain Goat Leaps from Cliffside in Viral Clip
Most animals are meant to live outdoors. Their bodies are carefully designed to protect them from the elements and help them to thrive. Goats have strong hooves that help them climb rocks, hills, and other rough terrain. But sometimes even the most seasoned hiking goat might find himself in a bit of a pickle. A terrifying video filmed in Petra, Jordan, shows a goat on the edge of a cliff making a difficult decision. He’s high off the ground, but stuck, and there seems to be only one way out.

The Goat Was Very Brave and Went for a Dive Right Off The Cliff
Even though the goat didn’t appear so certain about his choice, he knew it was the best decision to jump off the cliff. Two men attempted to coax the goat back toward them, but he had no interest. Instead, he quite literally took a leap of faith. He hit the ground like a gymnast sticking the landing and never looked back.
The original post claimed the goat had been stuck on the side of the cliff for four days. We don’t know if that’s true, but he definitely didn’t want the men’s help to save him.
“Nobody saves a goat on a cliff if anything the goat will save you fact,” someone commented.
“They worried about an animal with natural skills in climbing,” another person agreed.
A lot of people believe this goat went to the cliff for some peace and quiet because he just couldn’t get any time alone.
“Wasn’t stuck he was trying to find a safe place away from these guys,” another person joked.
We’re just glad this had a happy ending, from that distance it sure looked like cliff diving could have been the end of that goat.
