Dwarf Goats
The dwarf goat is a direct descendant of its cousins, the ibex and the chamois, from which it has inherited its spectacular agility. Its origins are ancient; it comes to us directly from Senegal and Tibet. In fact, the harsh living conditions in those regions—hostile climates and scarce food—have contributed to its small size.
Fearless, mischievous, and above all very endearing, she has a huge appetite and will always come to you asking for a few strokes or treats (which, of course, you won’t give her!).
Did you know?
Have you ever looked a goat in the eyes? Its remarkable rectangular, horizontal pupils allow it to keep a wide view of its surroundings. This is a particularly useful trait for a herbivore that needs to stay alert to its surroundings.
Goats are also intelligent and social animals. They interact with other goats and enjoy exploring their surroundings. At Cigoland, watch how they behave: which one seems the most curious, and which one prefers to stay quietly in the background?
