WHAT IS A GOAT? The goat, along with sheep, were among the earliest domesticated animals. Goat remains have been found at archaeological sites in western Asia, such as Jericho, Choga, Mami, Djeitun and Cayonu, which allows domestication of the goats to be dated at between 6000 and 7000 B.C. However, unlike sheep, their ancestry is fairly clear. The major contributor of modern goats is the Bezoar goat which is distributed from the mountains of Asia Minor across the Middle East to Sind.1 The six traditional breeds of Read More Go to Site ADW: Oreamnos americanus: Information Votes:0 Overview News Technology Conditions of Use Privacy Policy Partners & Contributors Awards & Recognition ADW Staff Contact Us Spinning Skulls About Mammals Frog Calls Resources for College Instructors Resources for K-12 Instructors Contribute to ADW What's in a Scientific Name?

IUCN threat category Endangered (EN: criteria C2a). Available information Literature available on this species mainly concerns its status and distribution; a few studies on its ecology were carried out in Israel (Alkon & Kohlmann, 1987; Kotler et al., 1994), and no literature on the subject is available for the African continent. Locations of specimens collected in Egypt are reported by Osborn & Helmy (1980); the authors also report some information on its habitat, diet, and habits.

The domestic goat is descended from the Paaang or Bezoar goat. Bezoar goats vary in size from about 130 to 300 pounds and can get to four feet tall. Their whole body is covered in a coarse wool accept for their legs. The wool can be one color or a combination of colors. Common colors are black, brown, gray, red, and white. Goats have cloven hooves which means that they are split into two toes. Most wild goats have horns, some curve backwards but others have horns that curve into a corkscrew. Both male and female goats have short beards the same color as their hair. A special feature of the bezoar goat is its s Read More Go to Site Boreal Forests of the World Mammal Species - Mountain Goat Votes:0 BACK Mammal Species of the World's Boreal Forests BIRDS Oreamnos americanus Mountain Goat Description Distinguishing Features - Length: Male 1.8 m, Female 1.4.

The social order is matriarchal with the smaller nannies dominating the more placid billies except during the mating season. These animals are very adept at moving about on high rocky cliffs and ledges which is where they spend much of their time. Their main predator is the cougar, but the kids sometimes fall victim to the golden eagle. They are hunted by humans only as trophies. Home Discover Nature!

Mountain Goats have two beige colored horns that curl back and reach a length of about twelve inches. Mountain Goats weigh about 100 to 200 pounds. They are 4.5 feet long and their shoulder height is about 36 to 48 inches. The females are smaller than the males by almost 30%. They have very round bodies which protect them from the cold. Their legs are about 20 inches long. Their hooves are adapted to the rugged slopes by being flexible, like rubber, so they can jump from rock to rock. Their coloring is white and their fur is very fluffy and every strand of hair is about 2 inches lo Read More Go to Site Mountain Goat - The Mountain Goats of British Columbia, Canada - Mountain Goats in BC Votes:0 Contents Badger Beaver Bighorn Mountain Sheep Black Bear Bobcat California Sea Lion Caribou Chipmunk Cougar Coyote Dall's Porpoise Deer Elk Grey Whale Grey Wolf Grizzly Bear Humpback Whale Killer Whale Lynx Marmot Marten Mink Mountain Goat Moose Pacific White-Sided Dolphin Porcupine Raccoon Red Fox Red Squirrel Sea Otter Striped Skunk Wolverine Outdoors Animals Birds Fish Wildflowers Trees Survival Parks Trails Visit BC Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Northern BC Rockies Kootenays Thompson Okanagan Vancouver & Coast Victoria & Islands City Guides BC Communities Travel Routes Circle Tours Maps Points of Interest Travel Logs Lodging Search Listings Add a Listing Brochure Rack Browse Trip Planner Tourist Info Special Events Events Calendar Road Reports Weather Reports Mileage Calculator Coastal Ferry Read More Go to Site News1 Votes:0 Walia Ibex (Capra W'alie) Amharic: Walia The habitat of the Walia 1bex is the High Semyen, Ethiopia's dramatic high mountain terrain. In the earth's long history of violent geographical change, the most recent volcanic upheavals took place in eastern Africa, followed by torrential rains which created the thousand gushing waterfalls which in turn eroded away the newly formed mountain massif, creating the great gorges and gulleys which are so typical of the region. South west of Axum the land descends gradually southwards toward the Takazze river. At the lip of the gorge at about 1,400 metres (4,600 ft.) one can look across the chasm to a similar plateau beyond. On top of this plateau, adorned with steep turrets and bastions rising in three distinct steps, is perched the north wall of the Se Read More Go to Site Rocky Mountain goat — FactMonster.com Votes:0 Home World & News U.S. People Word Wise Science Math & Money Sports Cool Stuff Games & Quizzes Homework Center Fact Monster Favorites American Indian Heritage Month Thanksgiving Say Thank You Advent Hanukkah Pearl Harbor Day Campaign 2008 Presidential Factfile International Space Station Most Polluted Places in the World Harry Potter Page Ranger's Apprentice NFL Team Profiles Fact Monster Blog!
