Domesticated

Areas for children and adults who like to scratch goats seem to be popular in zoos. Columbus has My Barn, and the animals are domesticated.

A small white goat with a few tan spots relaxes on the goat yard's pavement with eyes closed.
Tallulah, a pygmy goat.


The sheep stands facing the camera. Its head is black with a wide white stripe from the top of the head to the muzzle. Two horns curve backward. Bottom teeth are visible.
A Jacob sheep. Nice teeth!

A small (as cows go), reddish cow has turned her head completed a lick of her side. The wet spot in her hair is visible. It's a cowlick!
A Dexter cow. I was too slow to get her tongue in the shot.
The same cow's tongue is in her nostril!
Her tongue is pretty long.
The neck, head, and large antlers of a reindeer are in profile, and its exhaled breath is visible in sunlight.
Sven isn't in the My Barn area, but the animal known as a reindeer in North America is a domesticated caribou.
The thigh and long, hairy tail of a small reddish pig.
kunekune pig
A goat in profile. The face is black, horns curve backward, and the long, wavy hair is gray.
Angora goat
Four chickens are lined-up, near to far, in profile. The first has white/silver feathers with black edges. The second is reddish. The third has reddish feathers with gray edges. The fourth is reddish.
It was a cold day in January (snow in the background), but chickens were out. I believe they're all Wyandottes, of several varieties. I think: That's a silver-laced in front and a blue-laced red third. The others?
A close-up of a chicken. The beak is yellow, and there is bare, red skin around its eye and cheek. Feathers are reddish with gray edges.
A blue-laced red Wyandotte?

    I enjoy the angle of the Angora goats horns along with her curls.
