London Zoo's pygmy goat herd are taking on Whipsnade Zoo’s golden Guernsey goat duo, in the aim of totting up more trots this June as part of the Around the World in 30 Days challenge.

Both herds will have their daily walk around the Zoo tracked and added to the running total.

London Zoo’s pygmy goats Button, Chestnut, Truffle, Marmalade, Chutney, Pickle, Potticus, Hick, Holly, Brambles and their zookeepers already have an impressive route mapped out across the zoo taking them past Bactrian camels, Humboldt penguins, flamingos and llamas.

London Zoo keeper Poppy Tooth said, “The pygmy goats, who can reach a top speed of 6km per hour, love their daily walks though London Zoo, and I’m confident we can cover some impressive ground. The challenge will be keeping all ten of them focussed and all walking in the same direction.”

They are aiming to raise £300 to support ZSL’s work protecting for endangered wildlife across the world.
