Footage of cyclist's encounter with mountain goat 'on steroids' goes viral: after flexing for a few seconds the muscly mountain goat appeared to go on his way as the (likely terrified) cyclist hoped for the best... cycling
Of the few million people who have viewed the clip so far, many have speculated over the mountain goat's training, diet and supplement regime, while for some it made them think of 'Roger the Buff Kangaroo', a particularly muscly marsupial who achieved worldwide fame in the mid-2010s. Unfortunately a box office brawl between the pair is no longer possible, because Roger sadly died in 2018.
Before we get pulled up on it, we'll clarify that mountain goats are technically not goats in the traditional sense because they are not part of the capra genus. They're actually part of the bovidae family of ruminants which includes antelopes, gazelles, and cattle, which in turn goes some way towards explaining the size of this beast.
This isn't the first time we've heard of cyclists having potential brushes with death due to animals either, although none of the others we can recall were this tonk.
