- 12 days ago
A pregnant goat has gone viral - because she's so large.
Eight-year-old Beverly is due any day now - and has social media waiting in anticipation.
Jesi Wilde, of the Smith Farm Goat Sanctuary, posted a video of Beverly waddling on TikTok.
The clip has since been viewed 1.6million times - and counting.
Jesi, 44, from Raleigh, North Carolina, said: "The reaction has been wholly unexpected!
"Everyone has been commenting on how wild she looks.
"We are happy everyone is invested in Bev and her babies and hope we can share adorable baby goat videos soon!"
Beverly is five months pregnant.
And Jesi added: "Beverly has larger than normal sides anyways, so she looks extra large.
"She very likely has twins in her; she had twins during her first pregnancy so this is her second.
"She is at the five month mark now, so she is due any day now."
The sanctuary is home to 27 goats.
Every effort is made to ensure that the goats don't fall pregnant to prevent overcrowding - but sometimes that isn't possible.
Jesi said: "We try to prevent pregnancies by keeping the males and females separate.
"However, in the Fall they go into heat and are great escape artists.
"Pickle was busted getting into the goat pen that Beverly was in.
"We did not know he impregnated her until this Spring, when she started showing.
"He was really quick taking care of his business!"
