Stone Zoo welcomes twin endangered mountain goats to the world
Visitors at Stone Zoo can now get a double dose of cuteness thanks to the its newest members: twin Markor goats.
The goats, an endangered Asian mountain goat species, were born on July 26 and made their debut to zoo guests Monday, according to a statement from the zoo.
“The first-time mother is very attentive and is doing everything she should be doing,” Pete Costello, assistant curator of Stone Zoo, said in a statement. “These animals are skilled climbers suited to rough, rocky terrain, and it’s amazing to observe the agility in the kids at such a young age.”
The twins, both male, join seven other Markhor goats at the zoo. These endangered species are native to the Himalayan Mountains.
