Domestic goat

 
 

Did you know?


An adorable lawn mower

It’s very popular throughout France. It’s used to clean terrain, and more and more frequently it’s kept as a pet. The mini goats adapt very quickly and become very attached to their humans!

The goat and us: a long story


The domestication of the goat dates back to 7500 BC! Goats have always accompanied man (milk, meat). But if one little herd is left in the wild, it multiplies with a worrisome speed and can convert a paradisiacal island into a rocky, unproductive, sterile land...

 
 
   
 
Scientific name :
Capra Aegagrus


The domestic goat is a resistant race. Originally from Africa, it is now considered a pet. This animal is endearing, social and affectionate. They usually live in groups. Goats are playful and often run after one another.
