Photo Gallery King Goat
In the small Irish town of Killorglin, a king is crowned every year. And the king is ... a goat.
The folks in Killorglin are proud of their goat king -- so much so that there is a statue in his honor in the middle of town.

The goat king is also a cash cow. Thousands of tourists show up for the event, bringing an estimated 6 million in revenue.

The goat is captured in the hills around the town. The queen is selected from among the townsfolk.
