Aren't those the goats that are put there by their herders to graze on the trees?

I.e they clamber about in the tree reasonably well, but couldn't get from the ground to the branches

I think no one would say goats aren't good climbers, for horizontal animals with no fine manipulators, but when you look art animals who have fine manipulators and who are also good climbers (monkeys, apes, lemurs, some marsupial's etc, etc) its very different.


Cats also are as you say very good climbers but's that's more to do with being very good jumpers and clingers due to their claws. Although that said most cat's can support their own weight with their claws so can scramble up trees etc. (some can take prey up as well).
