Staff at Belfast Zoo in Ireland now have two more adorable little rascals to look after. Thus, two African pygmy goats have recently been born at this facility, and their caretakers say that they are nothing if not utterly adorable and fun to look at.

Zoo Borns tells us that the baby goats were born to two females, Snowdrop and Hannah. Both moms are doing a great job looking after their offspring, and the little ones are pretty much thriving under their care.

One of the baby goats is a female, and is now referred to as Aziza, which means “precious” in Swahili. The other is a male, and its name it Adunbi, which is a Nigerian word for “pleasant.”

The folks in charge of looking after the new arrivals say that, despite the fact that they are very young, the baby goats have very distinct personalities, and aren't in the least shy about letting others know this.

“Aziza is always happy and very friendly to keepers and the other goats. Adunbi, however, has a much bolder personality,” caretaker Alyn Cairns says.

“He is extremely mischievous, a bit of a trouble maker and he likes to climb on top of things, including the other goats!” the zoo employee further details.
