We Saved A Mountain Goat That Was Stuck Hanging In The Air By Its Horns

ADVERTISEMENT

We found this goat while hiking in the Pedriza section on the Sierra de Guadarrama near Madrid. He was hanging by the horns fully suspended between two boulders. He had obviously been stuck for a few hours in this very uncomfortable position.

After creating a harness made of our jackets, we were able to pull it out and let it go on its way.

After freeing our new friend it took him a few minutes to recover from the shock but he ended up going on his way!

More info: Facebook

This mountain goat somehow got stuck in this unfortunate position

Hanging by his horns between two rocks

We managed to free the unlucky goat that seemed in a bit of a shock after

He’s all good now, back to being a free mountain goat!

SO COOL! Love people like you! You did right by petting it to to pull it out of shock. A very light touch on the head and in circular motion willl most often pull an animal out of shock. You guys rock!!!

did we name him James Francgoat? (i thinking 127 hours here. I know the actual dude's name was Aron Ralston, but there's no obvious goat pun in that name.)

Now that guy is going to spread his subpar genes and mountain goats are going to be extinct. Jk. Would've been a really interesting skeleton to come across. But glad the little goat is okay.

Reminds me of a rabbit which I found frozen, hanging from the crotch formed by two branches on a small tree. Apparently, it had been running and somehow got its neck caught in that tight space. It was frozen dead, when I found it.

Let's shoot some photos before saving him! It great to rescue an animal, but WHY would you wait to do so?

I think you have time to take a photo while watching how the goat will react to one's presence and how the physical and mental status of the goat is, before you start helping it.
