Capra aegagrus hircus
Lamancha goats are perhaps the most distinctive goat breed easily recognizable by their very short ear pinnae. --wikipedia
This friendly goat was a happy resident at a local petting zoo here in Tulsa.

Ok, just wikipedia'd Lamancha goats and yes it does look like that. Thanks!!!
Oh cool, I'll have to check into it. Next time I'm there I'll ask one of the workers. :)
This is probably a Lamancha goat! It's ears aren't gone they are just extremely short!
Ok...then I would say he probably did lose them due to a winter's freeze...Poor guy...he looks really sweet, though :)
Yeah I'm not sure how it did either. The goats I photographed were at a petting zoo type of place so maybe it was a rescue.
This goat has lost his ears. If he was in a colder climate, I would say due to freezing off when he was a kid. But, being in Oklahoma....I am not sure why/how.
