REPORT: Billy Goats Not Gruff, Just Misunderstood

In contradiction to long held beliefs, new research out of Wales indicates that billy goats are not as gruff as once thought.  "It’s a common misconception about goats that they are rather surly,“ says Dr. Elwydd Winchester of Cardiff University, who has been studying goats in their natural habitat for over 15 years.  "In fact, billy goats are gentle creatures.  We believe it is their voracious appetites that led to the erroneous reputation for gruffness.”
