Fur, Feathers, and Scales: The Biology of Domestication, Thursday, Period 2

Zack was totally giving that little, 'well hello to all of you how good to see you today!' grin that he was prone to giving to basically everyone in the world, because Zack, when he came into the classroom today, holding a baby goat in his arms.

Tip had mentioned that they were cute at some point, and today he just so happened to have one.

... He had no idea why anyone was keeping goats on the island in the first place, but it was terribly cute, even if it did keep trying to lean up to eat his hair.

"Hey, guys. Today's class is about goats!" Because why not? How often did a small town animal shelter get something like this in anyway? "Goats were another animal that were domesticated for meat, and for milk, fur, and skins. They are also," he set this particular goat down, and it took off at a prance across the room like nobody's business, "really bouncy."

It was the cutest thing, okay?

"So today we're going to play with the goat. Maybe set up something for it to climb on? They love climbing!"

This class was so educational, weren't you glad you were taking it?

Goats! Sidon knew goats! They had goats in Hyrule, although the goats in Hyrule were much bigger and not nearly as cute as this little guy. He figured that little guy might one day grow into being more like a Hylian goat, but for now, he was more than happy to get to meet his adorable baby self.

Something to climb on, eh? One of Sidon's favorite..."chores" at the shelter was what he fondly called Mount Sidon, which was, of course, letting all the little fluffy animals climb all over him like a mountain.

That seemed like a good idea in this case, too, until about three second into hunching down on the ground and allowing the goat to climb up on his back. Kittens and puppies and hamsters did not have hooves; goats did. He probably should have taken that into account before letting a bouncy goat climb up on his back, but he made his choice, he would stick with it until the end...or until someone else made something else and the goat decided to go climb on that.

And now Sidon was wishing his arms were a bit longer so he could better reach his back to massage out some of the little spots of goat-hoof-induced soreness that were beginning to blossom.

Live and learn.

See? This class was instructional!
