Colenso Village is our goat and sheep walkthrough, located in Familiar Friends. Take a journey through the African village-themed walkthrough and learn more about the village culture. You can feed our friendly goats and sheep too!
Please Note: The animals are given a quota of food each day and feeding is available until their quota for the day is met. Therefore we cannot guarantee when you will be able to feed them.
Animals in Colenso Village
Goats and Sheep
Cameroon sheep have short, fine hair which allows them to keep cool in the African heat. These sheep have tan and black markings.
Pygmy goats are great climbers, browsing on leaves and young branches in the trees.
Boer goats have tan and white markings, and are our biggest species in the walkthrough. Their name is derived from the Afrikaans word ‘boer’, meaning farmer.
The Somali fat-tailed sheep are mostly white in colour, with a black face. This sheep was originally bred for the fat reserves in its tail, which were use in Medieval cooking!
