山羊

Meat of a young goat is known as either kid or cabrito while the older ones’ flesh is known as chevon or mutton (rarely). Goat’s tail is short and erects up with a little curve. The body is covered with a hairy coat, but it does not have to be combed. Also, the coat needs not to be sheared. Male goats have glands beneath the tail, and their secretions give them an odor, which is unique for them. The odor gets stronger with the sexual maturity, and becomes strongest during the mating season (rut). Most of the goat breeds have horns which are upright and narrow. Presence of a beard is another characteristic feature of the goats. They are browsing herbivores, and have a four-chambered stomach called rumen. Their lifespan is around 15 -18 years, while there have been some exceptional cases of 24 year old goats. Sometimes, goats have become backyard pests as they browse on almost all the plants at their reach. The lifetime could come down to eight or ten years if, there have been stressful periods, especially due to rutting and kidding.
