The Alpine Goat: A Mountain Marvel

The Alpine goat is a hardy, adaptable animal known for its climbing abilities and friendly demeanor. At the zoo, these goats have an enclosure that features rocky slopes and elevated platforms where they can display their natural agility. Children and adults alike enjoy watching them leap gracefully from rock to rock or nibble on leaves and hay.

Zookeepers ensure that the Alpine goats receive plenty of enrichment, such as hanging feeders and toys, to keep them active and engaged. These intelligent animals often interact with visitors during feeding sessions or in petting areas, making them a favorite among families.

In the wild, Alpine goats are found in rugged mountainous regions where they play an essential role in their ecosystems by grazing on vegetation and preventing overgrowth. By showcasing these animals, the zoo highlights the importance of biodiversity and the need to protect fragile mountain habitats.
