Text from the story:
There are many things about
goats and sheep that are the same. There are
also many differences. Like sheep, goats are
plant-eating mammals with hooves. Also like
sheep, goats like to be in groups. A group of
goats is called a herd. Rather than eat several
times a day, herds of goats "graze." They munch
on grass, herbs, tree leaves, and other plants
all day long! Unlike sheep, goats have fur under
their chin that looks like a beard. They also
have pointed black horns. Female goats are
called "nannies" or "does," and males are
"billies" or "bucks." Baby goats are called
"kids."
Goats are very curious
animals. They are also very smart and very
friendly! Because they are so full of energy,
many people think goats make fun pets. Much like
humans, no two goats are alike. Because of this,
goats are fun animals to watch, especially when
they are playing. When kids play, they gallop
and jump straight up into air (vertical jump).
