Goat in Boone

Can you tell this is goat or sheep? We took this picture when we went camping at the KOA Campground in Boone, North Carolina with some very good friends on the last weekend of October in 2007. In fact, there are several ways to distinguish goat from sheep.

Goat says "maa" and sheep says "baa". This picture has no sound and so you can not say. Goat's tail goes up and sheep's tail hangs down. You do not see tail in this picture and so you can not tell. Goats are natural browsers and they prefer to eat leaves and shrubs. Sheeps are grazers and they like to eat short grass and clover. Well, this one on the picture is not eating and so you can not decide.

The answer is goat. The hint is from other pictures we took in the campground. The tail is up and that is why it is a goat.
