Most of the times they won't hop right back up, I think, but these educational videos about animals target children so it won't be such a good idea to show fucked up goats or other animals.

I’m just imagining a kids show “this goat is climbing the cliff for salt. Oh no he fell. And he’s now impaled on that dead tree. That’s a a (I don’t know trees) trees! They are native to the region! Did you hear that squish? Let’s investigate. Oh it was these worming things falling! Those are what we call intestines and they help you eat yummy food! Now it calling for its brother and sisters with its last gurgling breath. Don’t you remember a time when you wanted to play with your siblings but they were too busy? Comment below! Now Mr. Vulture is coming to say hello! And he loves eyes! Not like the letter silly! It’s what you see from! Vultures love eyes!”

Edit sorry I couldn’t help myself: this one is acting strange… let’s take a look! Oh its brain is full of these silly bent proteins. Look at the holes where they like to live! It’s called a prion disease! Can we all say spongiform encephalopathy?! Sound it out, you can do it!

Imagine you are an animal videographer and have to film dozens of goats falling to their death just to get one which miraculously survived.

What's with lemmings trying to have me imagine bad stuff? 🙁

I mean… the alternative exists…

From a natural selection perspective I don't think many goats die by falling.

[–] gtr@programming.dev 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Correct, they die from the fatal effects of hitting the ground.

No, they die by being pushed off the cliff by a Golden Eagle.

I mean it's not the falling that gets them. It's the abrupt stop on the rocks below.
