Field Notes

Description:

Large and tall goat with huge head and peculiarly-shaped nose.

Habitat:

Spotted this at a crowded market near Jama Masjid in Old Delhi, India. It was to be sold. When I asked the owner the name of the breed he mumbled something inaudible and dragged the animal into a bye-lane behind the shops...just one photo is what I could manage.

Notes:

In India, when we say goat this is the sort we mean. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/328136007
I have NEVER seen such a huge goat with such a peculiarly shaped head.
I regret that I could not crop out the people at the back without deleting part of the spotting. Is this a hybrid or a new variety or what? I checked photos of Goats of India but could not find a similar one.
