Tauern piebald goat (Capra aegagrus hircus)
The Tauernscheckenziege is a rare mountain goat with a colorful spotted coat. At the Fasanerie, we help to preserve this endangered breed - experience these lively animals up close! Here you will find the four Tauerschecken goats Trude, Margot, Hilda and Rita as well as the three mixed goats Uschi, Schecki and Bärbel.
The Tauernscheckenziege is a rare and hardy mountain goat from Austria. With its black and white spotted coat, it is not only pretty to look at, but also perfectly adapted to the harsh climate of the Alps. They are particularly sure-footed and frugal, which makes them a valuable livestock breed. As their numbers have declined sharply, they are now specifically promoted in conservation breeding programs.
