Bobcat OR Grizzly: Brawl on the Wild Side Learn More...
Nigerian dwarf goats are domesticated goats from West Africa. Wild populations can be found in rugged mountainous country, rocky crags, and alpine meadows, and they can tolerate hot, dry climates thanks to their wool coats.
They are raised for their milk production, but they’re also cherished as pets due to their gentle, calm, and playful nature.
Like other goats, they have rectangular pupils that help with their vision, have a four-chambered stomach to help with digestion, and have hooves that are split into two which help them move across all types of terrain. They are mainly black, white, gold, or light brown and or chocolate or darker brown in various patterns and both males and females have horns.
