Goats have very good eyesight and actually like brightly colored objects. Traffic cones, brightly colored balls and even stuffed animals can add a lot of enrichment to their enclosures as well.
Mammals other than primates generally have less effective two-receptor color perception systems, allowing only dichromatic color vision; marine mammals have only a single cone type and are thus monochromats. Honey- and bumblebees have trichromatic color vision, which is insensitive to red but sensitive in ultraviolet to a color called bee purple.

Both male and female goats may have beards, and many types of goat (most commonly dairy goats, dairy-cross Boers, and pygmy goats) may have wattles, one dangling from each side of the neck. [19] Goats have horizontal, slit-shaped pupils , allowing them to see well by both night and day, and giving them a wide field of vision on either side to ...
Some tests have revealed that myopia in some animals can be improved with eye drops containing zinc, by increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). [7] The rhesus monkey's vision amplitude reduction is noticeable in its second decade of life; however the condition does not impede normal functioning.
As with other goats, only males have a beard. Ibexes moult in spring, when their thick winter coat consisting of woolly underfur is replaced with a short, thin summer coat. Their winter coat grows back in the autumn. As in other members of Capra, the Alpine ibex has glands near the eyes, groin, and feet but none on the face. [5]
They now suspect that the effects of climate change have taken a toll on mountain goat survival rates — and native goats are struggling, too. Off the bat, the translocated goats had it tough.
Why Do Goats Climb on Horses? Although the sight of a goat standing on top of his mini horse seems to give the farmer pause in this video, it’s actually not that unusual of an occurrence, and ...
