In some wholesome news this morning, a herd of goats have taken over a town in north Wales.
The goat squad descended onto the empty streets of Llandudno while the human residents are in coronavirus lockdown – chowing down on some hedges along the way.
According to the BBC, the wild herd of around 122 Kashmiri goats usually venture down from the nearby Great Orme when the weather’s bad.
Some of the goats have recently had kids, and were seen eating flowers and hedges.
Local councillor Carol Marubbi told the BBC: “They are curious, goats are, and I think they are wondering what’s going on like everybody else”.
She added: “There are very few visitors on the top [of the Orme], so they have come down in their droves. There isn’t anyone else around so they probably decided they may as well take over.”
Councillor Marubbi said that everyone in Llandudno was ‘very proud’ of the goats, adding that the animals have been providing much entertainment for people isolating at home – who have a front row window seat to the goat show.
They’ve also been providing great entertainment for those of us not in north Wales, and long may their reign continue.
