goats

According to a recent study, goats are more intelligent than people previously thought. Goats have the ability to understand human expressions. They can tell the difference between unhappy faces and smiling ones and are attracted to the latter. 

Pretty wild, huh? 

How was the study conducted, you might ask. Researchers went to a goat sanctuary, and they showed goats a pair of photos — one with a happy face and the other with an angry expression. They were surprised to find that ALL the goats were drawn to the happy face. 

Honestly, the fact that Goats like you more when you're happy sounds like a good enough reason to smile. 

Ready to smile? Each week we are featuring the newly adopted pets of the week! From kittens and puppies to families and seniors! Is there a lovelier sight than an animal being adopted?! We wholeheartedly thank those who have adopted, providing animals with a loving, comfortable and warm home. There's literally nothing better. 

For those of you who are thinking about getting a pet, just remember; adopt, don't shop! 

What do you do when you live in a town with a name meaning 'goat town' and have a lot of goats? You have a goat beauty contest, of course! That's what these people in Ukraine did, and it sure is a sight to see. There are a few things you have to see in life before you die, and this is one of them. 

Who knew goats were so bada**?! These little fellas could be in the league with all the other pros! 

Prepared to be awed the sheer cuteness of these goats hopping around without a moment of hesitation! 

We all know goats are funny but here is one more fun fact about goats you probably didn't know: When goats are misbehaving, they are forced to put pool noodles or tennis balls on their horns so they don't hurt others. We thought it's one of the cutest things ever so we brought you some photos to prove it. Could these be the new unicorns?  

Playing, jumping, making a mess... Nope, no little puppies or kittens here, just goats. This twitter page proves once again that goats are awesome! Now if they could just faint on command... Then we could make them Youtube superstars...

These goats are the master of parkour and we are so impressed!
