Who is dominate?



Noah has been entertaining the goats by crawling around on the ground and imitating their actions. Juliette is not at all sure what he trying to accomplish and remains reluctant to join in. Nana Ana, however, is enjoying the companionship. He and I were supposed to be working. We had been shoveling rocks and moving them via the gator to the outdoor shelters to prevent erosion around the structures during rain. He decided to take a break and since the goats were following us around and jumping up into the gator, I guess he thought it would be fun to "play" with them. Nana and Noah were head to head. Noah would push harder and Nana would back off. Then Noah mimicked rearing. After watching Noah a few times display his dominance, Nana began to rear and push Noah back. She even went so far as to try to climb on him and she tried to eat a mouthful of his hair! Juliette was having nothing to do with this and as you can see from the photo, she maintained her distance and observed.
