Why does a goat have hooves with a soft spongy inner pad surrounded by a hard outter rim?

A goat's hooves are designed with a soft spongy inner pad surrounded by a hard outer rim to provide optimal traction and shock absorption. The hard outer rim helps to support the animal's weight and protect its feet from rough terrain, while the inner pad allows for flexibility and cushioning, enabling goats to navigate rocky and uneven surfaces effectively. This unique hoof structure is essential for their agility and stability in their natural habitats.
