Great Orme Goats out on the streets of Llandudno early this morning

[@GrahamDyson-h9z]

I live just a few miles down the North Wales coast from Llandudno. This type of venturing down into Town was never seen, until the Covid pandemic. With no-one on the streets during that period the Goats literally had the 'run of the town', & have remained bold ever since, (but mostly in the early morning) their natural home/habitat has been the Great Orme since a few of them were brought back here by the British Army after the 1st Afghan War. Queen Victoria herself, then decreed that they be hand picked as Mascot's for all the Welsh Regiments of the period, & this is still the case to this day.

The goats have been on them mountains since before the Romans got here....

Very interesting thank you

[@JuliaGilbert-e3q]

Predators such as wild cat or wolves will drive them closer to human dwellings there is a growing population of wild cats which were released into the uk during the 60s or there about they have been quietly been on the increase an imbalance of predators

[@GrahamDyson-h9z]

@JuliaGilbert-e3q There are zero apex predators in Llandudno to my knowledge, & so the Goats are in no danger whatsoever in that respect.

[@NobbingNobby]

I love how they ignore the weeds (2:02) and only go for the ‘proper’ plants. Pure class!

Free grass cutting and plant pruning whether you want it or not 😊 great video ..rather soothing

Aw, thanks. (The gag was, lock up yer daughters -- the fleet's in! I don't suppose 'armada' will get adopted as a collective noun, but I figured you at least would get the nautical reference. They seem to be entirely untroubled by your presence, it's great to see them up so close.)

They found a new supply of food during 2020 and they thought we might as well keep going to visit.

I'm a big goat fan, but isn't it unusual to see them wandering around a town street. I will do some web research, and obviously will subscribe here.

[@GreatOrmeGoats]

They've always come into town, but ventured further during COVID and were in the news worldwide.

[@GaryM67-71]

@@GreatOrmeGoats That's probably the only positive thing to come out of the lockdowns then. Do any of them allow people to pet them, or do they keep their distance I wonder?

They do try to avoid people and are mainly around during night and early morning. Sometimes they're still around through the day. It's winter and spring they come to town.

Unfortunately they do sometimes get attacked by dogs. It's more likely to happen on their nature reserve where people ignore the signs to keep dogs on leads.

@@GreatOrmeGoats thank you for the sharing this video, it's really lovely x

[@GreatOrmeGoats]

@@BrockSamson-i1i I've only seen them fight with each other. They usually run from anything they find threatening. It's during rutting season the billy goats get brave. They sometime cause nasty injuries to each other. Up until 2021 I had no fear of them. Then during 2021 rutting season a group of billy goats had a nanny cornered who was exhausted and injured from being constantly chased around. I went over and tried to scare the billy goats away from her. Most of them ran from me, but one of them came towards me with his head lowered and started stamping his feet. I stamped my feet back at him and shouted at him to go making big arm gestures, and he eventually backed down. I was quite scared. I think if I'd tried to turn away he might have lunged at me and knocked me over. Those horns could do some damage and I wouldn't like to be stamped on by a goat.
