Nov. 11 (UPI) -- A baby goat stranded on a Hawaii cliff was rescued by members of the public after four days.

Govinda Hansen, Caleb Morrison, Travis Woo and two other animal lovers organized the rescue attempt on social media after the baby goat was found to have been stranded on a Waianae cliff for at least four days.

They took the goat, now named Bala Buddy, to the Aloha Animal Sanctuary in Kahaluu.

The sanctuary gave Bala his own Instagram account, @the_rescued_goat, and soon he will have a new home with the sanctuary's animal wellness manager, Lawai Diaz, 15.

Rocio Tapia, Aloha Animal Sanctuary executive director, said Bala Buddy is a bundle of energy.

"You think that he would be doing very badly, but he's actually thriving. He's running around, he's hopping like baby goats do," Tapia told Hawaii News Now. "I just have so much love and respect for the community for the volunteers who came together to perform such an action to risk their lives for a baby goat."
