Curly

A goat in Hawaii

Curly is one skittish goat. I see him once in a while and he takes off immediately. Yesterday, I saw him curled up by the abandoned house next door. He didn’t stir, so I went to get my camera. When I returned his head was up, and when he saw me, he leapt to his feet. But he didn’t run off immediately and I was able to snap the top photo. Then he turned and raced around the other side of the house and out of sight.

A goat running away in Hawaii

It wasn’t until I was processing the photos that I noticed the band around his head. I think it’s the same goat I’d seen tied up by some other neighbors. Obviously he’d broken free, but the band was still there. It didn’t seem to be bothering him, even though it’s quite close to one eye. I think removing it would involve a tranquilizer dart!

Lost kid

A baby goat in a warehouse in Hawaii

I saw this little goat in a warehouse in Kona. It was a bit panicked by its situation and, when it tried to scamper off on the concrete floor, its feet just went back and forth like a cartoon animal. Eventually, it found its way outside again and disappeared.
