Why does a father goat get mad at the mother when she goes near new baby goat?

That's not quite right! A father goat generally doesn't get mad at the mother when she goes near the new baby goat. In fact, the opposite is often true. Here's why:

* Protective instincts: Male goats (bucks) are usually protective of their offspring, even if they are not directly involved in their birth. They will often be seen guarding the babies and the mother from other animals or even other goats in the herd.

* Social bonding: The mother goat (doe) and the father goat (buck) often develop a strong bond after mating. They may even spend time together after the babies are born, although this is less common than the doe spending time with her kids.

When a buck might act aggressively:

* Competition: In some cases, a buck might try to prevent the mother goat from nursing or caring for her young if he feels threatened or wants to mate with her again. This is more likely to happen in situations where there are multiple bucks in the herd.

* Hormonal changes: Bucks can sometimes become aggressive during the breeding season due to hormonal changes.

Important to note: The behavior of individual goats varies. While the general instincts are often protective, some bucks may be more aggressive than others. This depends on factors like their temperament, herd dynamics, and the presence of other males.
