Goats
Meet Boris and Ed, our friendly British Alpine goats! You’ll find them in the Children’s Barn—they love visitors, so don’t be shy!
British Alpine goats are a large breed of goat with shiny black fur and white or creamy markings on their face and legs. If you look closely, you might see something funny on their chins. They have little dangly bits called toggles, something most goats have. Both boy and girl goats can have them. No one knows exactly why they’re there, but they might be leftover from a body part goats don’t need anymore!
Ed & Boris are brothers with very different personalities. Ed is calm and gentle, while Boris is a little crazy and wild! But they both love getting scratched, especially on their chin, cheeks, and back. So come say hello and see if you can spot Boris and Ed’s toggles!
