Scapegoat

Goats are some of my favorite creatures. They've got such varied personalities, and there are so many varieties. Each breed is a walking, chomping, head-butting history lesson.

Anyone know what breed this is? Is it some sort of pygmy?

I've often thought that if I owned a goat, I'd name him Azazel (the original, literal scapegoat). But then I'd be inviting all sorts of trouble on myself.

I love his hairdo! I think I'd trim his beard, tho. Make him more GQ!

How does he eat with such a bad bite??? I feel bad for him. He needs orthodontic work done and a hair cut.
