KID'S COUNTRY

About Kid's Country:

Kid’s Country at Rolling Hills Zoo has sheep, goats, plus a bald eagle & golden eagle.

A number of the animals found in Kid’s Country are heritage breeds, such as Tunis and Jacob’s sheep and the Arapawa & San Clemente Island goats.

What is a heritage breed? These are breeds that were raised by our forefathers, prior to industrialized agriculture. These breeds were carefully selected and bred over time to develop essential attributes for survival such as fertility, longevity, ability to mate naturally, and resistance to diseases and parasites.

At Kid's Country you can play on an old farm tractor, take a picture by the windmill, and spend some time with these amazing animals.

Fun Facts:

  • Goats’ pupils (like many hooved animals) are rectangular. This gives them vision for 320 to 340 degrees (compared to humans with 160-210)
    around them without having to move and they are thought to have excellent night vision.
  • The San Clemente Island Goat is one of the rarest goat breeds in the world, with less than 2,000 known to be in existence today.
