We are Pygmy goats originally from the Cameroon Valley in Africa.  We love to frolick and climb things and are very friendly.
We eat greens and special grains and like to be cosy when it is cold.
We have been named after the famous explorers, Scott who led an expedition to the North Pole [...]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Hello, my name is Lulu and this is my new friend Charlie, we quite like to peer at visitors and guess what they are thinking.  We are grazing pigs and have to stick to a healthy diet of grass, fruit, vegetables and specially yummy pellets. Our ancestors are from New Zealand and our name means &#8216;fat and round&#8217; in Maori.  We have a little tassel under our chin called &#8216;piri piri&#8217;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Like you we have to look after our health and are not allowed unhealthy snacks during the day (this includes food scraps from the table or your unwanted sandwich which could cause us to become unwell), we should live until the grand old age of 30 years, 28 still to go!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for not feeding us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
