GOATS
The ancestors of domestic goats come from the Mediterranean region.
Goats are very sociable and live in groups with a strict hierarchy. An experienced goat usually leads the flock.
Goats enjoy exercise; - they can even climb very well!
When night falls, they look for a cosy spot from where they can see everything and digest their food in peace.
