Capra aegagrus, commonly known as the wild goat, is a species native to the mountainous regions of Asia and Europe. It is characterized by its robust body, long legs, and curved horns, which can grow up to 1 meter in males. These goats are well-adapted to rocky terrains and are known for their agility and climbing skills. The wild goat is a key ancestor of the domestic goat, Capra aegagrus hircus, which has been domesticated for thousands of years. They primarily feed on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation, playing an important role in their ecosystem by helping to maintain plant diversity.
