Pygoras look like goats, but smaller. They are about sixty-five pounds as adults and usually more than three pounds as kids. They were started as a cross between the pygmy and the angora, and are now popular enough to be recognized as their own breed. They are naturally horned animals, but can be bred without horns. They come in various colors of reds, browns, black, white and gray.
This breed of goat was formed in Oregon for its fur. Naturally, it lives anywhere the goat does, which is usually a temperate climate. Pygoras are bred nationally as livestock and are found throughout the United States. They aren't commonly known of, though, since they are a relatively new breed of goat.
Since the pygoras are bred from two different kinds of goats, they are kept on farms for their coats. They are not a wild animal, so they do not have to hunt their food. They are given the same feed as other livestock, usually containing a mixture of minerals and vitamins needed and water to drink.
The pygora has not needed to adapt to survive so far since it is a livestock animal. It has only been in existence for about thirty years, so it hasn't had time for any noticeable changes.
Pygoras are a cross of pygmy, which has short soft down, and the angora, a goat with long silky fleece. This produces an animal with a great texture of fur. The original breeder of this animal wanted fine fiber for hand spinning, but since then the pygora has become the source of such fabrics as fleece, mohair, and cashmere.
