Why Do Baby Goats Hop?
As you watch the adorable video above, you may find yourself pondering why baby goats engage in such exuberant jumping.
“Goats have a natural inclination to jump and climb, a trait inherited from their evolutionary history in mountainous environments. Domesticated goats, like their wild counterparts, are incredibly sure-footed. As Craig Saffoe, curator of the Great Cats, Andean Bears, and Kids’ Farm areas at the National Zoo, explains, “Just like humans, young goats, or kids, are usually more playful and prone to jumping than adult goats.”
Just like human children, baby goats have an abundance of energy stored in their tiny bodies. They have their own way of releasing it, which involves lots of jumping. This behavior is not only a common habit among them, but it’s also incredibly adorable to witness.
“I could spend hours watching this adorable baby goat hop around,” wrote pubity as the caption for the goat video on Instagram.
“I wish I could buy a goat, but I’m broke and don’t have the space,” someone commented, highlighting the many reasons to consider owning one.
One individual inquired, “Why is it moving in a hopping manner, similar to a rabbit?” In response, another person stated, “That is their instinctive behavior, particularly when they are feeling joyful.”
It’s absolutely adorable to discover that these little creatures hop around when they experience joy.
Another user expressed their amazement at the level of happiness they were experiencing from watching the video, stating, “The level of happiness I am experiencing from watching this is f–king insane.”
