Capra
Capra is a genus of bovids that includes wild goats such as ibex and markhor, along with the domestic goat.
Bovidae: Bovidae is a family of even-toed hoofed mammals that includes cattle, antelopes, sheep, and goats. Capra is one of the goat lineages within this larger family.
Domestic goat: The domestic goat is a domesticated caprine descended primarily from the wild bezoar goat. It is the familiar livestock member of Capra.
Capra evolution: Capra evolution is the diversification of goats from shared ancestors into distinct wild and domestic forms. It accounts for the genus’s species diversity and shared traits.
Goat husbandry: Goat husbandry is the breeding and care of goats for products such as milk, meat, fiber, and hides. It describes the practical management of domestic Capra.
Caprinae: Caprinae is a subfamily of bovids that includes goats, sheep, and related hoofed mammals. This subfamily places Capra among its closest bovid relatives.
Alpine ibex: The Alpine ibex is a wild goat of the European Alps, known for the male’s long, backward-curving horns. It exemplifies the genus’s mountain-adapted wild goats.
Goat domestication: Goat domestication is the process by which people bred wild goats into livestock, beginning in Southwest Asia. Domestication transformed one Capra lineage into a widespread domestic animal.
Goat milk: Goat milk is milk produced by domestic goats and consumed fresh or processed into dairy products. It is one of the principal products obtained from domestic Capra.
Goat: A goat is a ruminant mammal in the genus Capra, including both domestic and wild forms. The everyday name covers the genus’s domestic members and many wild ones.
Markhor: The markhor is a large wild goat of Central and South Asia, distinguished by its spiral horns. Its striking horns distinguish one of Capra’s best-known Asian species.
