What are goats?

Goats are funny, bumpy animals that love to chew on things and climb anywhere they can reach.

What Goats Look Like

Goats have shaggy hair, big curly horns, and long beards that hang down like a mustache. They walk on four hooves, just like cows, but they’re more playful and curious. You might see them jumping around or nibbling on leaves.

What Goats Like to Do

Goats are chewy creatures, they love to eat grass, hay, and even the bark of trees! They also enjoy climbing fences, rocks, and sometimes even people. Think of them like a little kid who can’t stay still, always moving, always exploring.

If you’ve ever seen a goat in a field, it might look like it’s having a party, jumping, munching, and maybe even staring at you with a silly grin!
