A baby goat is called a kid. Goats have a four-chambered stomach that helps them digest plants. Watch how they explore, interact, and take in the world around them.
A few questions to bring along…
- What is a baby goat called?
- How do they use their noses to explore?
- What makes a comfortable place for a goat to rest?
