Capra aegagrus
Wild goats are strong animals that love to climb steep mountains. They have thick fur to keep warm and can jump really high to escape from danger.
Habitat: Mountain regions
The Wild Goat has a stocky build with a short tail and often a shaggy coat, ranging in color from reddish-brown to greyish-brown, frequently with a darker stripe down its back. Males sport impressive, large, scimitar-shaped horns with distinct ridges, while females have smaller, backward-curving horns.
