wild goat
Untamed mountain climber
A wild goat is any goat living in an undomesticated state, either as a truly wild species or as a feral descendant of domestic stock.
The term covers several species native to mountainous regions of Europe and Asia, including the ibex and the bezoar goat, ancestor of domestic breeds.
Wild goats are agile climbers known for navigating steep, rocky terrain.
