Greece is known for its adorable goats, particularly on islands, according to greekreporter.com.
According to a recent study carried out by the European Union’s statistics authority, Eurostat, Greece is the clear EU champion in regard to its number of resident goats.
More specifically, according to the European Union’s Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries report for 2020, Greece is at the EU forefront for the biggest number of goats on its territory, possessing approximately 3,625,000 goats.
The second place goes to Spain with almost a million fewer goats than Greece.
The nation of Spain has a goat population of 2,765,000 while Romania comes in third with about 1,539,000 goats.
France ranks in fourth place with about 1,252,000 goats on its territory.
It’s worth mentioning that the remaining aforementioned EU member-states possess a much greater land mass than does Greece, yet Greece’s mountainous countryside has somehow consistently proven to be a much more hospitable habitat for these adorable animals.
