Goats

Short one today, slightly linky.

Goats are inveterate climbers.  They're curious, and like to explore, which leads them to try to achieve vantage points.  They like to stand on the highest point, staring out over the goat-y horizon.  Often, this means that you'll find them on top of sheds, or small trees, or various other vaguely startling perches.

Like cows.

Fortunately, they do not use these perches for launching sites, as they do not (as the wise man once said) so much fly, as plummet.
