We have exciting news! Six of our four-legged friends have returned to Maclellan Island via the Goat Boat! Meet the herd below:
Alura is our oldest goat at 7 years old and the largest member of the herd. While she tends to keep to herself, she's never far behind when the others find mischief. Gentle and good-natured, Alura is easy to spot thanks to the large dark gray patch on her side.
Gilligan is the only goat to have been conceived on the island! Because he was bottle-fed as a kid, he loves attention and snuggles. His owners say he acts more like a dog than a goat, and his friendly personality makes him a favorite wherever he goes.
Mark may have a male name, but she's actually a female goat and the mother of one of our youngest goats, Babydoll. Though shy at first, she quickly warms up to people and enjoys attention. She looks a lot like Gilligan, but her brown forehead sets her apart from his white one.
Penny is one of our mama goats and will be experiencing island life for the first time. Naturally shy, she has a knack for slipping away whenever her handlers need to check on her. Around here, we like to think she's simply turning routine care into a game of chase!
Gimli, nicknamed "The Villain," is known for his mischievous streak. This is his third year on the island, and while he occasionally leads the other goats into trouble, he also does an excellent job clearing invasive plants.
McLovin' the Second is our resident billy goat gruff. (As for McLovin' the First, he was sent off to "boarding school.") Loud and proud, McLovin' makes sure everyone knows he's around. Though reserved at first, he'll warm up to you, if his dramatic bleating doesn't scare you off first!
Of course, none of this would be possible without our guardian Great Pyrenees, Beowolf. Despite his important job, "Beo" is one of the friendliest, most lovable dogs you'll ever meet. Everyone loves Beo!
