Baby Goat Alert: Historic Oak View County Park welcomes Henry and Oscar

In my opinion, we all could use more baby goats in our lives because just look at them. And so I'm thrilled to report that Historic Oak View County Park now has two baby goats where you can see them for free at any time (during the hours they are on view, of course).

In my opinion, we all could use more baby goats in our lives because just look at them. And so I'm thrilled to report that Historic Oak View County Park now has two baby goats where you can see them for free at any time (during the hours they are on view, of course).

This morning, the park announced that it has welcomed two baby goats to its herd — Henry and Oscar. They are about three months old and come from a farm outside Wake Forest. They are both mini nubians, which means they are half Nigerian dwarf and half nubian goat. It also means they are super adorable. Again ... just look at them.

According to the park, Oscar and Henry have blended seamlessly into the herd and were welcomed into their new goat family by Levi, Leroy, and Felix. Here they are with their new buddies.

"Like all of our goats, they enjoy spending their days grazing in the goat corral, munching on grass and leaves, and taking the occasional sun-filled nap," park staff share. "These two blue-eyed brothers are bonded for life, so you can usually find one right next to the other! Henry has mostly brown fur with black markings on his face and a black streak across his back, and Oscar is mostly white with black stripes on his face and black on his ears and on the top of his neck."

The goats are on view in the goat corral, weather permitting, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sunday.

The park is at 4028 Carya Dr., Raleigh. Oak View also is home to monthly StoryWalks. April's StoryWalk marks autism awareness month.
