How High Can a Pygmy Goat Jump?

Published in Animal Behavior 1 min read

A pygmy goat can typically jump up to 4 feet high.

While pygmy goats are known for their climbing and balancing abilities, their jumping skills aren't as developed as some other goat breeds, like mountain goats. Mountain goats, for example, can jump significantly higher. The pygmy goat's relatively shorter legs contribute to this difference in jumping capability. Their stocky build is better suited for navigating challenging terrain through climbing rather than leaping great distances.
