JERUSALEM, June 30 (Xinhua) -- The herd of Nubian ibex goats at the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo in Israel has added three cute new members.

The naughty babies love playing with the zoo worker and sometimes one of them even climbs onto his shoulder! The Nubian ibex goat is classified as "vulnerable species" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as fewer than 10,000 mature individuals remain.
