Smart as a Goat

Goats are not just cute and somewhat goofy. They’re also surprisingly intelligent! Generally bred for their milk or wool, goats are also highly social, and can come as real companions – just like dogs are.

 

In England, there are 50,000 (and even more in the US). Some of them have even become social media stars, and associations like “Goats of Anarchy” gather thousands of people online. But what truly makes this animal so fascinating? What if goats were in fact incredibly smart and sensitive, capable of building genuine emotional relationships with humans?

 

Pirouettes in the mountains, intellectual and agility tests, yoga or tree climbing… From USA to Morocco, via France, this film exposes the extraordinary behaviors and abilities of the goat, an animal as free as it endearing!
