A video of a goat seemingly eating leaves while standing on electric wires high above the ground has gone viral, leaving viewers in disbelief. In the now-popular clip, a white goat is seen calmly balancing on the wires, nibbling on some hanging foliage. The animal shows no signs of fear or struggle, maintaining its balance effortlessly.

The video opens to show a road carrying several cable lines and electric poles. It zooms into the goat standing on a delicate wire more than six metres above the ground. It is seen leaning forward to eat some grass clinging to the cable wire. The exact location where the incident was ‘filmed’ is unknown.
Real or edited?
While goats are known for their climbing skills—often seen scaling trees, hills, and even mountains—seeing one stand on the electric cables is a rare and puzzling sight. What adds to the mystery is that the street below is busy with people and vehicles, yet no one seems to notice the goat above.
As the video went viral on social media, netizens wondered whether the video was edited to amuse viewers. “Opr kasy pohnchi (How did she reach up?)”, asked one user. “It’s an AI -generated video”, said another. The comments section also saw reactions like “GOAT for a reason”.
In a similar incident, a goat was spotted climbing on a residence roof in California. The visuals showing the animal standing on the rooftop of a private property and enjoying its leafy meal, went viral in October last year.
