Not sure if this goat is somewhat crippled or not, but doesn't seem like anything stops it!

Its like his rear legs are paralyzed? but he can wag his tail.

Incredible balance, whatever is going on there.

I think that's so sad, he can't be a normal goat like that. I wonder what happened to him.

that is so sad. I suspect some kind of nerve damage and he learned to live with it. I wonder if he is happy.

Poor thing! Now if they discover how to walk like that on their hind legs and develop opposable thumbs, we are ALL in trouble...

Aaawwww! Poor thing. Either looks paralysed or like his back feet hurt so much he cant bear to put them down on the ground? He did a couple of times but couldnt seem to bear weight on them.

Wow! Almost looks like hip dysplasia. It's astounding how well he handles his disability.
