British Alpine goat

Meet Guiness, our friendly British Alpine goat! You’ll find him in the Children’s Barn, and he loves 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!
