Kyoto folks: can anyone explain to me what are two woolly brown mountain goats doing tethered in a yard off Marutamachi-dori (close to Higashioji-dori)? Is it the antifa? The big building next to that yard has many interesting graffiti, including one that says "From Kurama to Fushimi, Kyoto will be fascist-free". (The goats were not there yet when I took this picture last week.)

🐑🐐 While #sheep and #goats often share the same pastures, a "geep" – a natural hybrid of the two – is incredibly rare.

Because sheep have 54 chromosomes and goats have 60, most pregnancies aren't successful. However, every few years, a healthy hybrid with 57 chromosomes is born, featuring a unique mix of woolly coats and goat-like features.

It's a cold and gray afternoon in Florida, but Rose was warmed by some face and head brushing.
フロリダは寒く灰色の午後ですが、ローズは顔と頭をブラッシングしてもらって温まりました。

After a very busy and productive day, it was time to give the goats some attention. They love it!
忙しくも充実した一日を終え、ヤギたちに少し構ってあげる時間になりました。ヤギたちは大喜びです！
