| Fortissimo User | Wacky News Every once in a while something truly humorous shows up. Here's today's. A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal. The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders. They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi. "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said. Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat. "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up". Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case. "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | Excuse me, the use of "ewe" in the context of this forum is a rather sheepish attempt at humor, at best. A goat is an animal in the genus Capra, which consists of nine species: the Ibex, the West Caucasian Tur, the East Caucasian Tur, the Markhor, and the Wild Goat. The animal most commonly known as a "goat" is the domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus), a domesticated subspecies of the Wild Goat. Goats are bovines (members of the family Bovidae) and are related to cows and antelopes. They are widely scattered throughout Eurasia and Africa. The goat connection may be even more significant than the cat. It goes back to antiquity. A powerful clan in ancient Greece, the Palentids, claimed they were originally descended from a sacred goat. The horned and hoofed Greek goat-god, Pan, is one of the most important entities of Witchcraft. Thor, the Norse god, was worshiped before the other gods of Valhalla. Some say he existed as early as the stone-age. Thor drove a great chariot, pulled by two giant, powerful goats. Goat...1. Any of various hollow-horned, bearded ruminant mammals of the genus Capra, originally of mountainous areas of the Old World, especially any of the domesticated forms of C. hircus, raised for wool, milk, and meat. 2. A lecherous man.

| Mezzo Piano User | Sorry professor. Should I have my term paper on bovines turned in by Monday or should it be on the genus ovis and how they vary from genus capra specifically?

![]() ![]() ![]() | Nah, we've discussed the order Artiodactyla, (even-toed ungulates) enough in this thread. Thanks, though.

| Mezzo Piano User | Thank you for putting that in plain English. Having been around sheep, goats and cows on the family farm most of my life, I am aware of the order Artiodactyla. Dealing with vets as much as I have, you tend to learn things and not have to look them up on the internet.
