Wonderful Facts About Goats
From FourPaws
June 2024
Their inquisitive nature is exemplified through their constant desire to explore and investigate anything unfamiliar they come across.
Goats are intelligent, extremely skillful, but also very shy and careful, rather than docile and calm. They can react terribly to noises and fast unknown movements. Since they are herd animals, at least two goats should always be kept together.
Social habits, intelligence and more:
- A baby goat is called a kid.
- They can learn very quickly; especially when it comes to enforcing their own needs.
- Goats are sociable animals and become depressed if they are separated or isolated from their companions.
- Despite being social, they are not flock-orientated like sheep.
- They are one of the cleanliest animals and are more selective feeders than cows, sheep, pigs, swine, and even dogs.
- Goats are very intelligent and curious animals. Their inquisitive nature is exemplified through their constant desire to explore and investigate anything unfamiliar they come across.
- They communicate with each other by bleating. Mothers will often call to their young (kids) to ensure they stay close by.
