VIDEO: Pygmy Goat Hitches Ride at Maryland Zoo
You've heard of a piggyback ride. Watch as kid gets a 'goatyback ride' from mom.

Two pygmy goats will make their public debut at the Maryland Zoo on Friday, April 3, but they are already stars on the internet.
The zoo posted a pair of videos to Facebook Thursday featuring Clark and Chloe—the baby goats or “kids” who were born March 10—and the clips had already been liked and shared hundreds of times by Thursday night.
The pair has been “behind the scenes” since they were born, bonding with their parents, African pygmy goats Lois and Lex, according to a statement from the zoo.

“Because they are pygmy goats, they are quite small and they do seek shady cool places to hang out sometimes,” Carey Ricciardone, the zoo’s mammal collection and conservation manager, said. “They are becoming very active and will be jumping all over the place.”
They will be coming out to meet the public Friday at the Farmyard section of the zoo in Baltimore.

Luckily she’s an experienced mother and is taking very good care of her kids,” Carey Ricciardone, the zoo’s mammal collection and conservation manager, said.
