3 Goats: (Capra hircus)

5 [INLINE] The goat, along with sheep, were among the earliest
6 domesticated animals. Goat remains have been found at
7 archaeological sites in western Asia, such as Jericho, Choga, Mami,
8 Djeitun and Cayonu, which allows domestication of the goats to be
9 dated at between 6000 and 7000 B.C.

11 [INLINE] However, unlike sheep, their ancestry is fairly clear. The
12 major contributor of modern goats is the Bezoar goat which is
13 distributed from the mountains of Asia Minor across the Middle East
14 to Sind.
15 Unlike sheep, goats easily revert to feral or wild condition given
16 a chance. In fact, the only domestic species which will return to a
17 wild state as rapidly as a goat is the domestic cat.
