Tiny Bagot goat born at Edinburgh Zoo

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) has shared the first pictures of a tiny baby Bagot goat, known as a kid, born at Edinburgh Zoo on 19 February to parents Patrick and Janice.

The female youngster, named Grace by keepers at the wildlife conservation charity, has been delighting visitors as she explores her enclosure with mum never too far from her side.

Bagot goats are believed to be Britain’s oldest species of goat. They act as important conservation grazers, clearing invasive scrub and woodland species to promote biodiversity which benefits other amazing animals and wildlife.
