BAYMAK, Russia, July 22 (UPI) -- A Russian goat that found its height insufficient to reach the high branches of a tree climbed onto the hood of a car for an extra boost in a viral video.

The video, posted to YouTube by Rinat Mullagildin, shows the goat standing with its hind legs on the hood of a car and its front legs against the trunk of the tree to reach the delicious leaves that were too high for the animal to reach without a boost.

Mullagildin can be heard speaking to the goat in Russian, but the animal appears unfazed by the spectator's heckling.

The goat finishes a mouthful of leaves and walks in circles on the hood of the car, leaving small dents and scratches in its wake.

Mullagildin said the goat, filmed in the Baymaksky District, was "tap-dancing" on the hood of the car. The goat eventually climbs down from the car and walks away.
