Thank goodness it’s Goat Week!

GlobalPost

It's been a good year for goats. There were goats yelling like people:

Goats doing yoga:

And goats jumping around excitedly while nursing from a bull terrier wearing raw milk pants:

And all of that was before it was even Goat Week!

It's Goat Week!

Modern Farmer has declared this Goat Week, complete with an official goat cam where you can watch the little guys all day long if you want. They really get around.

And that's where we come in. Goats are truly global animals.

There are more than 450 million goats in the world and 210 goat breeds, most of which are found in the Middle East and Asia. They can be found on every continent save Antarctica. 

Here are some of the things they can do:

1) They let their presence be known.

2) They mug for the camera.
