An amusing incident took place earlier this week in a San Jose neighbourhood during a time when you're less likely to see one - amid a quarantine.
Some 200 goats escaped the backyard of a local resident, Terry Roelands, and went wandering around the neighbourhood.
According to Mr Roelands, one of the goats was eating flowers over a fence and somehow tapped an electric fence, causing it and others to break through the boards.
I’m dead 😂☠️ When I got back from the store all the goats had broken through the fence and were recking havoc on our street

Neighbours said that the goats were feasting on potted plants and left a trail of droppings in their wake.
