Bagot goats rarer than pandas
     2016-April-21  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    THESE adorable kids aren’t just the cutest goats around, but they’re also rarer than pandas.

    The Bagot goats, born on a farm in Lincolnshire, Britain, are an endangered species, so a double birth is a cause for celebration.

    The Rare Breed Survival Trust estimate that there are only between 100 and 200 breeding Bagot females left on the planet.

    In comparison, it’s thought there are 250 pandas in zoos and collections with another 1,800 to 3,000 surviving in the wild, says staff at Rand Farm Park, near Wragby, Lincolnshire.

    But staff have to do rather less to rear these kids as they simply settle in quietly with their mom.

    The first account of the breed is of a herd at the Blithfield Estate in Staffordshire owned by Sir John Bagot in 1389 but the exact origin is unknown. One theory for the arrival of the breed in Britain was that in 1380 King Richard II gave the herd to John Bagot.
