Expert climbers

African dwarf goats are small but fearless – they can climb almost anything. Rocks, logs, stairs, or even picnic tables. With their impressive balance, they move like acrobats where you least expect them.

Curious herd animals

Goats love company, both from each other and from people. They are curious, social, and often come up to say hello – especially if you have something tasty in your hand.

Eyes with superpowers

Goats have rectangular pupils that give them extremely good peripheral vision – almost 340 degrees. Perfect for keeping track of both predators and visitors carrying food.
