Me So Horny!

20 Apr 2007

This is some bearded (mountain?) goat/animal we saw at the zoo in the big smoke a few weeks back. The herd had a decent sized pen and this guy, obviously the alpha male, was proudly standing on the highest perch surveying his domain and minions. A scuffle started at one stage and he lost no time in dashing down and asserting his dominance with a few swift and successful head-buttings.

Shame he didn't stay on his perch/throne a bit longer so I could get a shot of his beard which stretched from his chin, to his front, and on down his front legs! Very ZZ Top.

Anyone know what kind of animal he is? (Apart from a horny goat!)
