1 Contribution. I believe leopard tortoises are somewhat similar, although the coloring is much different and leopard tortoises are the 5th largest tortoises in the world. Actually, none, sâ¦orry. Desert Tortoises are all too often carriers of Mycoplasma Agassizii and other tortoise species have no built in defense against that.
Even if your goat is not running a high or low fever, this provides a clue to you and/or your vet as to what the problem could be. The ânormalâ temperature for a Boer goat is 101Â°F to 103Â°F in the winter, spring, and fall. It is not unusual in the summertime, when the goats have been basking in the hot sun all day, to see a temperature as high as 104Â°F, but this should drop fairly rapidly once the goat gets out of the sunlight. We use a digital rectal thermometer when taking our goatsâ temperatures.
Mountain goats can weigh from 125 to 180 lbs. (57 to 82 kilograms) and grow from 49 to 70 inches (124 to 178 centimeters) long. Their black horns grow up to 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) long. They do not shed their horns, so a goat's age can be determined by counting the annual growth rings. Both males and female mountain goats have horns, according to the Animal Diversity Web (ADW) at the University of Michigan.
