They are the smaller goats running around with the kids (human and goats). When having young, goats often have twins; once in a while they have triplets. Goats, in general, are used for their milk, their meat, and their hides. When humans are allergic to cow milk, goat\u2019s milk is an alternative. The goat milk also makes a very distinctive flavored cheese.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kingdom: AnimalsPhylum: ChordataClass: MammaliaOrder: ArtiodactylaFamily: BovidaeSpecies: 140 ZebuRange: Africa, South AsiaHabitat: Domesticated, does well in dry climatesConservation Status: Least ConcernScientific Name:&nbsp;Bos taurus indicus dwarf There are 75 breeds of zebus in Africa and South China.
