Five African Pygmy Goat kids are the latest Longleat arrivals. The kids, two sets of twins and one singleton, were all born on the same day.

Senior

Safari Warden, Beverley Evans explained “We have three female African Pygmy

Goats within the East African Reserve and we were keen to find them a male to

breed with. Young Rocky from mid Glamorgan was loaned to us for only six weeks.

“The babies are only 18 cm in height and are

definitely high on the “ahh” stakes with our visitors”!

The

African Pygmy Goat originates in the Cameroon

valley of West Africa.
