Goats take over empty streets of seaside town in UK

March 31, Liandudno, UK: Mountain goats normally live on the rocky Great Orme Country Park land but are occasional visitors to the seaside town of Llandudno. The herd was most likely drawn this time by the lack of people and tourists due to the Covid-19 outbreak and lockdown measures in place.

Usually, the wild herd of about 122 Kashmiri goats venture from the Great Orme into Llandudno during bad weather.

But town councillor Carol Marubbi believes the lack of people around because of coronavirus has drawn them down.

"They are curious, goats are, and I think they are wondering what's going on like everybody else," she said.

The goats – some of which have recently had kids – have been spotted nibbling flowers.

She said everyone in Llandudno was "very proud" of the animals and they had been providing "free entertainment" to people from their windows.
