HE has been described as short, dark and handsome and on the look out for someone who enjoys kidding around but this is not your typical Valentine’s Day lonely heart’s advert.
It has been made on behalf of Basil the goat by his keepers, who are hoping to find a female companion for him.
"Basil (slightly faulty) seeks Sybil in time for Valentine’s Day.
"Short, dark and handsome. A real hairy looker with plenty of him to explore. WLTM caring, curvaceous goat with GSOH and who enjoys lots of 'kidding’ around, eating out and moonlit strolls through Wallaby Walkabout.
"Has a lot to offer the lucky lady goat, with luxury accommodation in the popular Seaview Wildlife Park, caring keepers and all the grub she could ever wish to eat," read the advert.
Behind the appeal has been the serious search for a mate, according to Lorraine Adams, park director: "We are seriously looking for a female companion for our lonely goat Basil. We have asked around but we have not been able to locate a mate for him."
Anyone who has a female goat who may be suitable can e-mail info@seaviewwildlife.com.
