The San Clemente Island goat is a unique breed of domestic goat found exclusively on San Clemente Island, part of the Channel Islands off the coast of California. These goats are descendants of animals brought to the island by the U.S. Navy in the early 20th century. They are known for their hardiness and adaptability to the island's rugged terrain and limited resources. San Clemente Island goats are medium-sized, with a variety of coat colors, including black, white, and brown. They play a significant role in the island's ecosystem by helping to manage vegetation. Conservation efforts are in place to protect this breed, as they are considered a valuable genetic resource.
