🐐Goat

Capra hircus Linnaeus, 1758

La chèvre domestique (Capra hircus Linnaeus, 1758 ou Capra aegagrus hircus) est une espèce de mammifères herbivore ruminant, appartenant à la famille des bovidés, sous-famille des caprins. La plupart du temps, les chèvres sont domestiquées, mais on les trouve aussi à l'état sauvage dans quelques contrées du Caucase, d'Iran, d'Afghanistan ou d'Irak. Leur domestication est ancienne (au moins VIIIe millénaire av. J.-C.). On les élève pour leur lait, leur cuir, leur poil et leur viande.
