Timur effect Mini-goats are becoming fashionable as pets : Animals: From Life: Lenta.

ru

What pets do you prefer: dogs, cats, rabbits? Since 2015, social networks have shown an increase in the interest of lovers of our smaller brothers in … miniature goats. Many consider them ideal. How did this trend start and what did people find in the little horned creatures?

Lambda chi goat

In the US, they hardly heard about the Russian goat Timur, who became famous throughout the country. But there are idols here. In social networks, pages are increasingly being opened that are run by the owners of cute goats. nine0003

Members of various student fraternities were the first to appreciate the merits of artiodactyls. In many of them, it is customary to have some kind of common pet as a talisman and universal object of adoration.

Alex Buckley studies at Pennsylvania State University. He is a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha student society (the names of fraternities and sisterhoods in the United States, as a rule, consist of letters of the Greek alphabet). Usually the brothers got dogs, but one day a comic idea was born to beat the name of the community (Lambda resembles lamb – a ram) and get a ram. Soon everyone forgot about the idea, but not Alex: he and several of his friends studied the issues of keeping artiodactyls and, after weighing all the pros and cons, realized that it was better to get a Nigerian pygmy goat instead of a ram. So Bella Russ appeared in the brotherhood. nine0003

“She’s not just a mascot animal, she’s our friend and full member of the community,” says Buckley. According to him, not all the brothers immediately appreciated it. But then the goat charmed everyone: the whole campus came to meet her. The animal has an Instagram account.

Bella Russ contributes to the fraternity and community: the goat participates in student-run charity events and, by attracting everyone’s attention, helps raise six-figure sums for those in need.

“This is a really great animal – friendly, cute, funny and already very spoiled. She lives with 40 uncles who adore her, and another 46,000 people regularly drop in to cuddle her, ”says Alex. nine0003

Horned Brothers

Missouri State University classmates Evan Marinis and Keunn Hagan bought two pygmy goats, Littleton and Waller. Actually, they wanted to get a puppy, but when they saw a horned couple, they could not resist.

The guys say that goats behave exactly like dogs, only they don’t bark. For example, in the car, they sit by the window and survey the surroundings along the way.

“I have had many dogs. With some puppies it was much more difficult than with goats. They are very well behaved, friendly to people. When we bought Littleton, everyone on campus wanted to take a picture with him, but he didn’t get annoyed and didn’t run anywhere. As long as he is well fed and given plenty of sleep, he is ready to communicate, ”said Hagan. nine0003

That’s another W! Didn’t get to see me at Wrigley? That’s okay! I’ll be on ABC 7 Chicago tonight at 10PM! #ReverseTheCurse Also, follow me on Twitter @Littleton_Goat

Posted by Littleton The Goat on October 13, 2015

Quinn also notes that pygmy goats have about the same lifespan as dogs, from 8 to 18 years.

Freedom-loving beast

Not all new goat owners are doing well. Students at South Carolina State University also made such a friend, but Dalebert, as the goat was called, turned out to be a very specific pet. First, either by mistake or intentionally, the students bought not a dwarf, but an ordinary goat. Secondly, Dalebert had his own ideas about ideal leisure: he did not want to hug anyone and be photographed with anyone, but he regularly made attempts to escape. nine0003

Video: The State Newspaper / YouTube

Taking advantage of natural jumping ability, the goat effortlessly overcame an obstacle in the form of a fence and went for a walk. Once he was caught by 25 students at once. Sometimes Dalebert would come back on his own.

“I think, ‘Oh, he’s run away again.’ The next morning I come from class to the corral and I can’t believe my eyes: the goat is there!” recalls student Jay Gatowski.

As a result, due to constant wanderings around the neighborhood, Dalebert was confiscated by local animal rights activists. nine0003

RIP, Ranger

An even sadder fate befell the darling of Tennessee State University’s Kappa Sigma fraternity.

The cutest goat Ranger, who was loved by many on Instagram in 2015, died unexpectedly from kidney stones, as stated by veterinarians.

Buy a goat

Dwarf goats are companion animals. They are good to raise in the company of cats and dogs, they fit perfectly into the “pack”, said Lionel Dawson, professor of zoology at Oklahoma State University. nine0003

According to Dawson, goats can be kept both in the yard and in the house – if, of course, they are taught to be neat. The specialist emphasizes that artiodactyls definitely need to eat hay and grains.

Goats, sheep and their relatives

The coming year according to the eastern calendar is the year of the goat (sheep). Therefore, I propose to get acquainted with some of them, with their appearance and habits.

Maned sheep

Maned sheep native to North Africa. Currently acclimatized in Spain and North America (California, Texas and New Mexico). In terms of physique, the maned ram occupies an intermediate position between rams and goats. Males weigh between 100 and 145 kg and are significantly heavier than females. The coat is beige or reddish brown. The feature that gave this species its name is the long hair on the neck, which in males can even reach the ground. Horns are worn by both sexes, but the males have larger ones. The horns describe a semicircle above the back and can reach a length of up to 85 cm. Life expectancy: in captivity up to 17 years, in nature up to 15. Habitat: hard-to-reach rocky areas of mountains, canyons (deep in the desert). The maned ram lives in dry, waterless areas. Enemies: leopard, caracal, American wolves. It jumps well, can jump up to 2 m high. Maned rams are agile, easily jump off stones and climb steep slopes. They graze in the morning, evening and at night. During the hottest hours, they rest, hiding in the shade. If there are water sources nearby, then the animals regularly go to the watering place and bathe there. When threatened, the rams do not run away, but freeze in place. The female gives birth to 1-2 cubs. In feeding years, with an abundance of food, females often give birth to twins. By the end of the day, they can already deftly jump over the rocks. A week later, the young begin to eat grass, but their mother still feeds them with milk for up to 3-5 months. nine0003

Markhorn goat

The name of this species comes from the shape of the horns, twisting like a corkscrew or a screw. Males have a suspension of elongated dark hair on the neck and chest. The color of the coat is usually reddish-gray.

Markhorn goat is an inhabitant of the middle belts of mountains, where it prefers the slopes of deep gorges with rocks and lawns covered with steppe vegetation. Avoid dense woody thickets. It also enters the belt of alpine meadows bordering on eternal snows. nine0003

Feeds on herbaceous plants; leaves and shoots of trees and shrubs; in winter, mainly wormwood, needles, branch fodder, rags.

In April – May, females bring one or two kids. Goat kids are born the size of a small rabbit, but their legs, of course, are goat’s – straight, long, slender. You used to look at a kid that was born before your eyes, and you were amazed, admired by its amazing adaptability to life. Having barely dried, he is already trying to get up, looking around, shaking his ears. A few hours after birth, he already walks, stumbling a little while doing so. After three or four days, the goat jumps over the stones so deftly, as if invisible springs are throwing it up: not a goat, but a grasshopper. And he lands, or rather, applies himself so softly and so accurately that he is able to combine all four legs at one point and stay in this position for several seconds. nine0003

Chamois, or black goat, or whistler

In the Caucasus, the chamois is also called the black goat. And this name is quite consistent with the appearance of this animal. Small vertically standing and strongly hooked horns serve as a sharp weapon for chamois. In our country, it lives only in the Caucasus, where the number of chamois probably reaches 15 thousand heads. The habitat is small – 4 – 5 km in length. Chamois keep in small groups and herds, sometimes significant, grazing mainly in the morning and evening. Gon in late October – November. Males emit at this time a sharp musky smell emanating from the secretion of glands located behind the horns. Males chase each other, but there are also mixed groups of several males and females, and not just “classic” harems. nine0059 1 lamb is born, rarely 2.
Most chamois live up to 10 years, but some live up to 25.

Bighorn sheep, or bighorn, or shank

Bighorn sheep is also called bighorn, shank.
Bighorn is an inhabitant of the upper belt of mountain ranges, highlands and rocky sea coasts of Northeast Asia and North America. In Russia, its range extends from the Northern Baikal region to the Arctic Circle.
It seems that the territory of the range of the bighorn sheep is vast, but the area of ​​habitats actually inhabited by it is much smaller. Firstly, it does not exist on the plains within its range, and secondly, it does not inhabit the mountains entirely, but only isolated areas suitable for it. nine0059 Typical habitats of the bighorn sheep are hard-to-reach rocks, steep, heavily indented mountain slopes with gently sloping areas with vegetation adjacent to them.
The snow sheep is a rather large animal, dense and powerful. And what huge and beautiful horns the males have! In females, the horns are shorter and without a spiral.
The snow sheep is calm and slow to the point of phlegm. Especially in winter, when mosquitoes and other midges do not lie in wait. They run up the slopes of the mountains only in case of danger, but everyone walks like that, and even with stops. In the rocks they are very dexterous and bold, but again they jump and jump over them calmly and without haste. Bighorns do not like haste. nine0059 They are surprisingly well adapted to climbing rocks, but on level ground the wolf catches up with them without difficulty. And that is why the snow sheep need rocks – they are salvation from predators. On the mountain steeps, they are inaccessible to either the wolf, or the wolverine, or the lynx, and even more so to the brown bear.
Despite their heavy weight, sheep jump down onto rocky ledges from a height of two or three meters.
Snow sheep are silent. It is rare when you hear from them something like the quiet bleating of a sheep, and even females with lambs make subtle iridescent sounds. nine0059 The cub is more often alone. The lamb weighs about three and a half kilograms, is well developed, in a “fur coat” of gray-steel color, with a black strap along the ridge and a white star on the forehead. In the first days, the lambs are guided by an innate reflex of hiding at the slightest danger, and after five or six days another reflex overpowers it – they do not lag behind their mothers a single step. The baby is growing fast. From the age of seven to ten, it begins to pluck grass and leaves, and soon joins the herd with its mother. The female cares for and protects the lamb selflessly. Even in front of a golden eagle or an eagle that encroaches on it, it rears up, covering the cub with itself. nine0059 Age of snow sheep – twelve, less often eighteen years. And they continue to grow until old age. It is easy to judge their age: every year a ring is deposited at the base of the horns, because the horns grow only in summer.

Waterbuck

Large, strong and slender antelope. The height of adult males at the withers is about 120-130 cm, and the weight is 250 kg.
The waterbuck lives throughout sub-Saharan Africa, absent only in the tropical forests of the Congo and Niger, on the Somali Peninsula and at the southern tip of the continent. nine0059 Like other representatives of the subfamily, the waterbuck prefers river valleys overgrown with shrubs and individual trees, although it can often be found among the dry shrubby savannah or even in a completely treeless steppe, for example, in the Ngorongoro Crater. Adult males lead a solitary lifestyle; females and juveniles form small groups that form herds during the dry season.
Waterbucks do not make long-distance migrations and live quite sedentary. They feed on herbaceous, often aquatic vegetation, graze in the morning and evening hours, and regularly visit watering places. nine0059 Waterbucks are good swimmers and when alarmed, they often escape in the water. Old males have a significant individual area, on which they try to keep a herd of females during the rut. There are often fights between males. Before the start of the tournament, the fighters stand opposite each other with their front legs wide apart, their heads down to the ground. During the battle, the animals, having crossed their horns, rest their foreheads and try to crush the head of the enemy.
The female brings one reddish calf per year. nine0003

Snow goat

The coat is white, long, very dense. The undercoat (“down”) is very thin and light. In the past, when there were many snow goats, the Indians collected long wool from the rocks and spun yarn from it, which was very much appreciated.
Snow goats inhabit only the Rocky Mountains of North America. At present, they are preserved almost exclusively in the reserves of the USA, where only 1200 heads live, and Canada, where there are about 2000 heads. Acclimatized on the islands of Baranova and Kodiak off Alaska. nine0059 Most of the time of the year, snow goats live above the upper border of the forest, lead a sedentary life and often stay in the same place for months. As an exception for a short period, usually at the beginning of summer, they descend into the forest to salt licks. Possessing an incredible climbing ability, mountain goats walk on completely sheer cliffs with barely noticeable ledges and cornices; it seems completely incomprehensible how such large animals can stay there. They move slowly, lazily and very rarely jump. Moreover, if they jump, then usually down, sometimes 6-7 m, onto a barely noticeable, often icy ledge. If the area of ​​the ledge onto which the goat jumped is too small, it does not try to linger on it, but only pushes away from it and jumps to the next one, sometimes turning almost 180° in the air. nine0059 In case of danger, the mountain goat does not rush like other mountain goats, and also slowly leaves, and you can follow it for a long time without losing sight of it.
Probably no other animal is so perfectly adapted to life in the rocks. It is no coincidence that all animals leave the upper belt of the Rocky Mountains in winter, except for snow goats. They have almost no enemies, only cougars occasionally decide to attack goats in summer, but they also successfully protect themselves from cougars with sharp horns, throwing a predator from the eaves. Only when crossing into the valleys to salt licks there are cases of attacks on snow goats by grizzlies, black bears and wolves. nine0059 Bald eagles attack kids. They keep singly or in small groups, most of the time males and females with kids separately.
In mountain goats, the female stands above the male on the hierarchical ladder, and during the rut, the male runs after the female on half-bent legs and with his tongue hanging out, in a pose expressing humility and submission. He then addresses her with the ritual “blow on the run”. If the male does not behave the way the female wants, she beats him with blows of horns under the ribs.
When males meet during the rut, they stand sideways to each other, with their heads in different directions, stretch out on their legs, arch their backs and raise their hair, demonstrating their power. If such a demonstration does not lead to a peaceful solution to the question “who is stronger?”, The males begin to circle around each other, maintaining their mutual position, and tend to hit their hind legs or sides with their horns. More often such fights quickly end without bloodshed, but sometimes the goats still inflict severe and even fatal wounds on each other. nine0059 One or two kids appear in April-June. Within a few hours, they can walk along the eaves after the females.
Snow goat hunting is completely prohibited. In the last century, they were hunted for their skins and exceptionally fine, soft and light wool.

Goral

In appearance, the Goral most of all resembles an ordinary domestic goat.
Forms 6 subspecies. Goral is distributed in the mountains of Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, Eastern Tibet, Northern Burma, Southeast, East and Northeast China, Korea and Russia. Widely protected as a rare animal. nine0059 Gorals inhabit steep rocky mountain slopes and cliffs. They are very attached to their habitats and do not go further than 2-3 km from the rocks, where they find salvation from danger.
Gorals keep singly or in small groups. A frightened goral makes a hissing sound and, if caught on the lawn, it jumps into the rocks in large leaps. They are not capable of a long run, but they move along the steeps with great dexterity, jumping 2-3 m. They avoid loose snow more than 25-30 cm high. fruit. In winter, they eat thin branches, shoots and buds of hardwoods, less often – needles, lichens and mushrooms. From late September to early November, adult males and females keep in pairs. nine0059 In June, the female brings one, rarely two kids. During the first month of life, kids lie more in inaccessible rocky areas, often in rocky niches or under canopies of large stones that shelter them from the rains that are so frequent at this time of the year. The goats begin to nibble grass and eat tree leaves in July, and in August you can already see young kids deftly climbing rocks behind their mother.
In snowy winters in the northern part of the range, gorals die from starvation and wolves. Adult gorals in the south of their range are often attacked by leopards. Goats die from harza and eagles. nine0059 Life expectancy up to 15 years.

Mouflon

The European mouflon is the only wild sheep in Europe. The female is lighter, smaller, and usually devoid of horns; horns in females are found only in exceptional cases, and even then they are very small.
Place of distribution – mountainous landscapes. Females and lambs together form a herd of up to 100 individuals, while males are solitary and join the herd only during the rut.
European wild mouflon survived only on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, but it was widely settled in the southern regions of Europe. Inhabits open spaces with slightly rugged relief, gentle slopes of mountains. Lives in mixed herds, sometimes very large. In summer, males and females live separately. During the rutting season, which happens in autumn, tournament fights arise between males. nine0003

Argali

Argali is the largest representative of wild sheep. The body length of the argali is from 120 to 200 cm. The height of the animal at the neck is from 90 to 120 cm. The weight of adult animals varies from 65 to 180 kg. There are several subspecies of this animal, depending on the size and color of the body.
In times of danger, adult argali begin to snort, and young rams bleat like domestic sheep’s lambs.
Argali inhabit the territories of the foothill and mountainous regions of Central and Central Asia, and occupy areas located at an altitude of up to 6 km – in the Himalayas, in Altai, in the Pamirs, in the Mongolian Sayans and in Tibet. nine0059 The female gives birth to one lamb, rarely two. Before lambing, the females leave the herd for a shelter, where they remain for the first few days after the birth of the lambs. The female takes care of the cubs for about 4 months, then the lambs switch to an independent lifestyle. Males do not take part in the upbringing of young animals. The average life expectancy of argali is 12 years.

Straw goat

Every year in the Swedish city of Gävle, a huge straw goat, an invariable attribute of Christmas in the Scandinavian countries, is erected. And almost every year, hooligans try to burn or otherwise destroy the figure. Some vandals who are caught are fined or even subject to a small arrest, but in most cases, the city’s attempts to counter the disorderly conduct, including hiring security guards and installing webcams, are futile. From 1966 years old, only 45% of goats survived.

Fainting or myotonic goats

There is a breed of domestic goat called fainting or myotonic goats. Due to a genetic abnormality, when frightened or very surprised, their leg muscles are paralyzed, due to which the animal falls on its side and lies for about 10 seconds. At the same time, the goats remain fully conscious, so this state cannot be called a faint. For many years, the value of fainting goats did not lie in the meat. Several generations of sheep farmers have used them in a rather creepy way. Instead of guarding the herd with dogs, they added a nervous goat to each flock. When a coyote suddenly appeared from the forest, the sheep scattered in different directions, and the unfortunate goat fell into a stupor. She was bitten to death, but the rest of the herd remained safe and sound. nine0003

Morocco

Morocco is the only country in the world where domestic goats do not graze on the ground, but in trees. This is not some special breed capable of levitation – these are the most common, almost standard goats. They graze on trees because the land here is quite arid and there is simply not enough lush grass for goat food.
Local shepherds closely watch the goats grazing on the trees, from time to time drive them from one tree to another. nine0059 Goats grazing in the trees can be seen in the villages of Afra and Imzy, located between the Moroccan cities of Agadir and Essaouira.

The largest sheep

The largest sheep lives in the USA, Oregon, on the farm of the Schalberger family. This is a three-year-old ram named Stratford Whisper, Suffolk breed. His height at the withers is 1.09 m, and his weight is a little more than 247 kg.

The smallest breed of sheep

The smallest breed of sheep is the Ouessant, bred on the French island of the same name. Sheep of this breed weigh about 14-16 kg with a height of 45-49see

Many cities depict goats on their coats of arms: Samara, Kozelsk, Grindelwald commune. There is also a goat on the coat of arms of the state of Chad.

On many coins you can see the image of rams. In the East, it is considered a symbol of prosperity, wealth. The lamb can be found on coins in the Middle East, Asia Minor, Kazakhstan, and even Canada will release a $100 “Sheep” coin this year.

Goats also flaunted on the coins of Russia, South Korea, Australia. nine0003

The image of goats and sheep was imprinted on stamps.

Monuments to goats were erected in Uryupinsk, Tver, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazakhstan, Czech Republic, China, Brazil, Holland, Italy. The monument to the “Black Sheep” in Savonlinna in Finland, the sculpture “Shepherd and Sheep” in London.
