Goats

Physical Attributes: The coat of goat can be in variety of colors but usually it is of silver-white color, with a gray facial pattern and black or brown undersides. There is usually a distinct line of longer, darker hairs extending from the neck down along the spine. The males, which are larger than females, bear a pair of curved-shaped horns that extend far along the back and may reach 47 in (120 cm) in length. The horns of a female are much thinner and may measure just 8-12 in (20-30
cm) in length.

Reproductive System: A female goat can give birth one of two young ones after the gestation period of 130-150 days. In some climates, goats are able to breed at any time of the year. In temperate climates and among the Swiss breeds, the breeding season commences as the day length shortens, and ends in early spring.

Goat as a Pet: It is only in the last century the Goat gained popularity as pets. If you want to have goats as pets and you want to tame them or approach them or want to touch them, you need to make sure that the goats are approachable and wild goats in most of the circumstances can be tame or uses as a pet. There is no simple way to "tame" a goat. To win the goat over will take a lot of patience, caring, love and food treats such as corn chips or raisins. Try not to chase the goat, because, being prey animals, this will only make them more scared of you.

Diet of a Goat: Goats have a very good digestive system and they are willing to eat each and every thing. The digestive system of a goat allows digesting all the organic substance and that can be broken down as nutrients. Generally, a goat eats grass, woody shrubs and plants. They usually don’t consume clothes or garbage but can occasionally eat items made of plant material.

Goats in Religion: Goats are used for sacrifice purposes in many religions such as in Islam, Christianity, and Jews etc. Goats are mentioned many times in Bible and considered to be a clean animal by Jewish dietary laws.
