These kids sure got their goat!

Two little girls wearing pajamas were spotted walking along a street in Mankato, Minn., late at night — leading a goat.

They told the bemused cop who stopped them that he was their pet, that he lived in a closet and that they sneaked him out for nightly walks because they wanted to keep their parents in the dark.

It turned out they attended a birthday party at a local zoo earlier in the day, went back and turned into goat rustlers.

The girls and the goat are all safely back in their respective homes.

Israeli zookeepers are looking for a new name for a crocodile named Khadafy.

The zoo once had a crocodile named Yasser Arafat — who went to his reward just three weeks after the Palestinian leader died.
