Capra aegagrus is a species of wild goat native to the mountainous regions of Asia, particularly in areas like the Himalayas and the Caucasus. It is known for its impressive horns, which can grow long and curved, and its sturdy build, allowing it to navigate steep terrains. This species is the ancestor of the domestic goat, Capra aegagrus hircus. These goats are herbivorous, primarily feeding on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation. They are social animals, often found in groups, and exhibit strong herd behavior for protection against predators. Their adaptability to harsh environments makes them resilient in the wild.
