| Nubian
goats are a domestic breed originating in Egypt
and now farmed throughout the world. Goats
are adapted to habitats including savanna, desert,
scrub, and mountains. They have an efficient
four-chambered stomach that allows them to survive
on a low-quality plant diet. Their digestive
process also allows them to eat large quantities
of food quickly. This reduces foraging time
during which they are exposed to predators.
Nubians and other goats are an important food source
for people around the world. |
