Скачать или смотреть Goat Intelligence: Using Teeth & Horns to Unlatch a Gate

A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !

In the video, a black goat accesses a farm gate latch through wide fence gaps. It bites the horizontal latch pin and yanks it forward while forcefully ramming its horns against the pin center. This combined action jolts the pin loose.

This behavior demonstrates three key goat intelligence traits:

Problem-Solving Precision

Targets the latch mechanism specifically (not random biting)

Uses wide gaps as natural leverage points

Body-Tool Coordination

Teeth pull horizontally

Horns apply vertical impact force

Persistent Execution

Adjusts force through repeated attempts

Masters multi-step mechanical disengagement

Why goats develop such skills:

Their mountainous origin requires navigating complex terrain. Research shows goats:

Remember solutions for 10+ months

Learn by observing (1 successful escape teaches whole herds)

Adapt techniques to new barriers within 5 trials

Practical takeaway:

Install rotating latch covers or elevated bolts. Standard gate designs fail against goat intelligence.
