African Dwarf Goat

Animals in the Little Zoo

Ungulates and hoofed animals

The hardy and easy to train small African Dwarf goat is a domesticated goat native to northern Africa. The breed was bred by humans to provide milk and meat, but is now a common domesticated animal on farms and in parks thanks to its calm temperament. Goats are very good at jumping and climbing on things. They will try most things, even those that other animals usually avoid. They also feature in Greek mythology and in many children's stories. African dwarf goats can vary greatly in size and colour, and come with different coatings.
