🐐Goat

Capra hircus Linnaeus, 1758

La cabra (Capra aegagrus hircus) es un mamífero artiodáctilo de la subfamilia Caprinae que fue domesticado alrededor del octavo milenio a. C., sobre todo por su leche. Al macho de la cabra se le llama cabrón (si bien en algunos países hispanohablantes esta palabra se considera malsonante), así como también cabro, chivo, macho cabrío, irasco, castrón o chivato, y a las crías se las llama cabrito, chivito, choto, baifo. Al conjunto de estos animales, criados por el hombre, se le conoce como ganado caprino o cabrío.
