Pieterburen is a very agricultural area. Kilometer after kilometer of farmland, with sidewalks bisecting the land so you can get from town to town. There are lots of chickens, goats, and horses as well. But they are so different from the ones in the states; they seem to be a bit burlier, with stocky legs closer to the ground. They are also fuzzier; they have very long, coarse hair all over their bodies. And the goats have very interesting horns that curl out horizontally. It seems a bit ackward to move around with.
And of course, another baby seal ^_^ I was cleaning (this job involves lots of cleaning) and was giving a seal a shower, and he just rolled over so he could enjoy the water belly up.
How do you suppose those horns developed? I mean what is the purpose, other than no purpose at all. I would think those could prove deadly for one's health, don't ya think?
ReplyDeleteI looked into it, the goats are specifically Valachian (Walachenschaf in dutch). They are highly endangered...so I guess the horns really have not worked out well. I found out the ones in Pieterburen are apart of a breeding program.
