goats
Kids when grown
Goats are hooved mammals related to sheep, domesticated for milk, meat, and fiber.
They're known for climbing ability and willingness to eat almost anything.
A goat can be a lecherous man or a scapegoat—someone blamed for others' failures.
In sports slang, GOAT means "greatest of all time": Jordan is the GOAT.
To get someone's goat is to annoy them.
