Calvin, the Nigerian Dwarf

This handsome fellow is Calvin, a Nigerian dwarf goat. He came by for a head scratch (in the petting pen).

***************
▶ "Between about 1930 and 1960, a variety of small domestic goats (Capra hircus) of the West African Dwarf group of goat breeds were exported from west and central Africa to the United States to be exhibited in zoos. The Nigerian Dwarf, like the American Pygmy Goat, derives from these, but does not resemble the stocky West African Dwarf in appearance. Rather, it was bred to resemble a miniature dairy goat. The Nigerian Dwarf was formerly listed on the heritage breeds watchlist of the Livestock Conservancy as 'recovering,' but was removed from the list in 2013."
