West Caucasian tur father and kid
These mountain goats aren’t really a sterling example of our human concept of fatherhood. The males and females self-segregate into herds, only mixing during mating season. The males may stick around for a couple of months after mating season, but don’t take part in the rearing. But this father-and-kid duo live in a zoo where they’re more likely to mingle, and provide cute photo opportunities like this one. If this pair reminds you of a dad who took part in your life, let him know you appreciate it today.
