Firefighters used cherry picker to rescue goat that apparently forgot how to get off cliff

Fire crews were forced to use a cherry picker to rescue a goat from the side of a gorge in Somerset.



The nervous animal scrambled down the steep cliff face at Cheddar Gorge, but seemingly forgot how to get back up.



Emergency services and the RSPCA were brought in to help the frightened goat, which was carried on to the aerial platform, at around 10.30am on Monday.



The goat was brought then safely to earth, checked over by an RSPCA inspector and released.
