Beauty Goat

The Damascene goat has several things going for it. First of all, it's a goat. Add to that long, floppy ears, a long, curved neck, and that truncated snout, and you've got yourself a winner. Literally; these goats are the object of popular beauty contests in the Arab world. This one knows how to compete, what with that dainty tongue.

I'll grant "homely" but I think "ugly" is a stretch for this one.

You have an entertaining and informative blog - two of my favourite things.

Good heavens, it's a rare photo of Jar Jar Binks before he got his cosmetic surgery and a facelift!

Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder where this one's concerned...actually it does look quite a bit like Jar-Jar, doesn't is?
