Recently i was at a petting zoo here in the Netherlands, and i was bullied by a goat.

I crouched down at a section about 10m from any other animal where a smaller cute goat , who spotted me, and followed by a grey goat, walked towards me. I let them approach me. Mini goat liked the head pats and then mosied on past me, while grumpy goat started to push against me to the point where I was as gently as I could, steering him in circles essentially spinning the fucker around and then away from me while making my way to the exit without alarming the children. Internally I was fearing for my life concerned he'd think he was part ram, but my partner had recorded me and it looks actually like I had the situation under control and I was doing some slow walking dance routine. His tail was wagging.

The goat wasn't lowering his head but kept walking towards me while I held him at arms length, span him around me ( to mostly not deal with his horns near my body) and I would release him facing away from me before he would turn around and try to headbutt me.

So goat experts: What caused this behaviour? Was it because i was crouching down and stole his goat friend and he decided to assert his dominance and be territorial? If not this, then what other explanations do you think it could be?

What should I do in the future to counteract this behaviour in the future? E.g. should i try to become big and loud or should I just accept he is a fucker and leave the enclosure the next time i decide I want to pet some sheep because goats are now on the same level as ducks in terms of evilness?

Norwich is actually changing from that to being a cycle city. Initial 2012 plans for a tram were rejected.

I'm about to enter a company where they sell alcohol as a branding executive. What advice can you give me to make sure I do a good job?

I'm currently doing a project on predicting algae blooms but more in coastal areas thanks to aquaculture. I am wondering if I should be lagging the oxygen variables, what are your thoughts on it?
