    Goats are 'ruminates' and do not have top INCISORS - instead having what is called a 'dental pad'.

    They have top teeth IN BACK, behind the 'dental' pad'.

    But, goats aren't the only animals with this dental arrangement - there are 192 living species of ruminants, including: antelopes, giraffes, pronghorn antelopes, deer, musk deer and chevrotains (mouse deer).
