+                             Goats: (Capra hircus)
+
+     [INLINE] 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.
+
+     [INLINE] 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.
+     Unlike sheep, goats easily revert to feral or wild condition given
+     a chance. In fact, the only domestic species which will return to a
+     wild state as rapidly as a goat is the domestic cat.
