GOATS

Female goats are referred to as Nannies, males as Bucks, Billies, or Rams and their offspring are called Kids. Most goats naturally have two horns, of various shapes and sizes depending on the breed. Both male and female goats have beards. Goats, being mountain animals, are very good at climbing; they’ve been known to climb to the tops of trees. Life expectancy for goats is between fifteen and eighteen years. Goats can be taught their name and to come when called. Each kid has a unique call, and along with its scent, that is how its mother recognizes it from birth. Goats are extremely curious and intelligent and get bored and lonely when alone. It is unhealthy to just have one goat, you need at a minimum two goats. Goats are herd animals and will become depressed if kept without any goat companions.
