KASHA the miniature goat has to be the ultimate kid lover.
As one of the cluckiest mums at Adelaide Zoo, Kasha just can't seem to get enough offspring.
"She's a beautiful mother, she's really protective, an absolute sweetheart," says mammal keeper Louise Stockburger.
"She's very clucky; when another one gave birth about three weeks ago she was calling and calling, thinking it was hers.
"We actually had to separate them for a while."
Luckily Kasha did not have to wait long - kids number six and seven were born on Thursday and went straight from the womb and into the limelight being snapped for these photographs at just an hour old.
The Sunday Mail captured the adorable newcomers taking their first steps before they went on display.
