Oregon’s Wildlife Safari park welcomes goats

WINSTON, Ore. — Wildlife Safari has welcomed a trio of baby goats to its animal park, named Roma, Dante and Pickles.

The three goats came from a local farm in Roseburg and are full of energy. They like to climb, bleat and chew anything they can get their mouths on.

“They climb everything, they chase each other around, they parkour off of things,” said Katie Langland, who works at Wildlife Safari. “They are just really fun to watch.”

Malia Chism, who has worked as a keeper at Wildlife Safari for just over a year, said that the goats will eventually move into their petting zoo, but for now, it’s too cold for them to stay there overnight.

“They are very friendly, they will try to jump on you,” Chism said.

Wildlife Safari also recently welcomed a baby cougar, received at the end of January when she was 12 weeks old. Winnie, the cougar cub, is now around seven months old, Chism said.

“She’s really fun, she’s really good at training,” Chism said. “We’ve already been able to teach her how to sit, lay down, which is awesome. Those kinds of things help us with medical care.”
