Damascus goat and its curved nose

Would you clock it as real if one walked past? The Damascus goat has a jaw that sits heavy and a nose that curves so far it reads as sculpted, and that face is just the start of what makes the breed stand out among goats. It answers to Shami goat too, comes from the Middle East, and earns its keep through milk. Age only pushes the look further, so the older animals carry the features at their boldest. First-timers tend to doubt their own eyes, which says plenty about how many odd corners the natural world still keeps.
