caprine

Of the goat

Caprine means relating to or resembling goats: caprine diseases, caprine features.

The word appears mainly in technical contexts—veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, zoology.

A caprine face suggests goat-like qualities: a narrow chin, close-set eyes, perhaps a wispy beard.
