Wild goat


We can see them in the mountains.The male goats have biggest horns than the female. In their horns they have rings, and if you were count them, you could find out how old they are.Wild goats eat grass in the mountains. Baby goats feed milk from their mothers, and when they grow up, they eat mountain grass too.
The mothers and the baby goats always go together and walk single file.They drink in the river and lakes.Goats fight each other with their horns.Oscar Pallarés.
