Tadić mentioned that his visit to the national park was originally for a different purpose, to discuss potential projects with park officials.

"I took the opportunity to visit Zečiji Kamen, one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the park, where I was greeted by a magnificent sight. As I was enjoying the view, I heard footsteps uphill and thought people were coming, but to my surprise, it was goats," Tadić said.

The goats seemed as pleased to see him as he was to see them, as they didn't mind being photographed.

"Instead of a rabbit at Rabbit Rock, I encountered goats, which made me ponder the reason behind Kozara's name. The goats gave me the answer. One of my followers mentioned that they came from Kozarački Kamen and Jarčevica, two other toponyms etymologically linked to the word 'goat'," Tadić explained.
