WILD GOATS ARE called that for a reason. They are WILD. Particularly this one spotted by reader Stephen McAuliffe perched on a ledge on the cliffs of Carrauntoohil.

Stephen says on his hiking blog that the goat looked “positively regal as he surveyed all beneath him.” We just hope he got off safely.
