Wild goat pushes woman off cliff, knocks friend unconscious in rampage

It was a baaaaaaad situation.

One hiker was nearly killed last week after a goat went wild, attacking her and two friends while they were traversing the Alpujarra hills in southern Spain.

A 64-year-old Belgian women was charged by the aggressive, wild Iberian ibex and was forced off a 65-foot-tall cliff, according to the Spanish outlet Murcia Today.

Luckily, the fall was not fatal, and the adventurer managed to land on a ledge that kept her safe from the attacking animal.

She did suffer two broken wrists.

The remaining two hikers were seriously wounded after the goat knocked one of the two explorers unconscious.

Thankfully, a passing shepherd found the besieged tourists and called in the Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group to help evacuate.

A spokesperson for the Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group later told a local news outlet that it was practically a “miracle” that the woman had survived her fall off of the cliff.

In an effort to locate their missing companion, the Civil Guard, Spain’s oldest law enforcement agency, sent out rescue parties but were forced to call off the search after 9 p.m. due to inclement weather in the area.

Members of the guard eventually managed to locate the woman, who was suffering from hypothermia, and brought her to a local hospital on horseback.

The spokesman added that it was a “rather spectacular rescue due to the steepness of the terrain.”

Experts hypothesized that the reason for the aggressive nature of the ibex is that females usually give birth in May, prompting the males of the species to become highly aggressive and territorial.

Spanish authorities have stated the rise of ibex encounters has grown due to an increase in tourism.

These tourists are not the first to encounter an aggressive wild animal.

In Missouri, police officers issued a warning that residents are not allowed to wrestle with a black bruin bear that was spotted passing through the city of Salem.

“Earlier this morning we received phone calls about a black bear near Rolla Road,” the department wrote in a Facebook post. “The Police Department closely monitored the situation and the bear was last seen heading North back out of town.”

According to the department, if anyone was caught trying to — or promoting the action of — wrestling the bear, all parties involved would be charged with a Class A misdemeanor.

Another wild encounter came when a mountain lion attacked a man who was lounging in his hot tub at a Colorado rental home.
