Can Goats Survive Falls?

Published in Animal Biology 1 min read

While goats are incredibly agile and have a remarkable ability to cling to steep surfaces, they can die from falls.

Researchers assume that fatal falls do occur in goats, contributing to natural selection. Although direct observation of fatal falls is rare, injuries from falls are certainly possible, even for these sure-footed animals. Their survival depends on the height of the fall, the landing surface, and the individual goat's physical condition.
