The crazy goat

I was reading about funny encounters between animals and humans recently and I remember a funny thing that happened some years ago... We went on a summer holiday to a mountainous area with lots of streams and creeks and forests. It was really nice except there are lots of wild animals and we were warned to be careful. There are vipers (I am terrified of snakes), bears and foxes and other animals. As we were walking, we heard a rustling noise in the bushes and I almost started running away only to realize it was a goat . The goat (which belonged to the owner of the cabin we stayed at) started chasing us. It actually jumped up and bit my boyfriend by the ear. It was nothing serious and we laughed it off.

I have watched a video on youtube where an antler was chasing passersby. It was really hilarious.

Maybe it was a mother goat defending its kids.

@tzwrites Then the billy-goat was in a belligerent mood.

It was a male goat that got out of its enclosure apparently. We later found out it belonged to the owner of the cabin we rented.

This was a funny encounter. There are vipers, wolves and foxes here too, those I fear most are the vipers.

@tzwrites Exactly, they hide and you cannot see them until it's too late.

Gosh, goats don't often jump up and bite you on the ear.

I'd never heard of such a thing before this but I guess the ear was tempting

It's surprising. I'm not sure if it was aggressive behavior or just play...

So, it bit your boyfriend and it didn't hurt. Maybe because it has only teeth that can chew grasses that is why. But good thing it didn't hit your boyfriend with its antler or horn.

I never would have thought a goat would bite anyone.

I guess the goat got aggressive, they always are picking up a fight. I would have laugh it off as well had I seen that.

I'm terrified of vipers and all scary animals. Glad that your boyfriend wasn't hurt. Once, a goat tried eating the ribbons and braids in my hair.

Lol you were lucky! I am terrified of domestic animals, especially cows and donkeys! Wouldn't like to get hit by a hoof!

I am scared of horses kicking and also cows and donkeys. Luckily the goat isn't so dangerous.
