Zoo Schmiding: Offspring in This Rare Domestic Animal Breed

The Schmiding Zoo in Krenglbach near Wels can offer a gift even before December 24th: Several baby goats were born just before Christmas. The little Girgentana goats are already curiously exploring their enclosure in the petting zoo and are showing "a typical lively behavior for goats," according to a press release from the zoo on Monday.

The kids, along with their companions in the petting zoo, are great accomplices to shorten the wait for the Christ Child. But the red pandas and Siberian tigers, accustomed to cooler temperatures, are also very well observed in winter.

Girgentana Goat Among Oldest Goat Breeds

The Girgentana goat is a rare, endangered domestic breed that has been bred. It is one of the oldest goat breeds in the world and is characterized by its distinctive, screw-shaped horns, which will develop in the young animals over the coming months.
