Michael Phelps isn't the only G.O.A.T at the Olympics. Taffy the goat wandered the open water venue at the Serpentine in Hyde Park on Thursday. He was led by his red-clad handler from the Royal Welsh, Wales' infantry regiment. Like Phelps — nicknamed G.O.A.T., or greatest Olympian of all time, after winning his 18th gold in the pool in London — Taffy boasted his own medals. Three shiny ones were pinned to the green cloth covering him. Silver sheaths adorned the tips of Taffy's horns and his white beard was neatly groomed. Curious volunteers posed for photos with Taffy and one asked his handler if the goat ever got cross. The reply: "Yes." — Beth Harris — Twitter http://twitter.com/bethharrisap ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
