The goat is a domesticated mammal, scientifically known as Capra aegagrus hircus, and is often kept for its milk, meat, and wool. Goats are known for their distinctive horns, beards, and their agile and nimble movements. They are social animals that thrive in herds and have a curious and playful nature. Goats have a reputation for being stubborn, but they are intelligent and adaptable creatures that can adapt to different environments and climates. They are found all over the world, from the mountains of Europe to the deserts of Africa and Asia.
