It has been listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996.[1] It is considered the ancestor of the domestic goat. Social structureIn the wild, goats live in herds of up to 500 individuals; males are solitary. During the rut older males drive younger males from the maternal herds. The gestation period averages 170 days. Does (females) usually give birth to one kid, which are mobile almost immediately after birth. Kids are weaned after 6 months. Female goats reach sexual maturity at 1½–2½ years, males at 3½–4 years. The lifespan of a goat can be from 12 to 22 years. Feral goat{{Main|Feral goat}}The domestic goat has been introduced and established feral populations in many areas of the world since ancient times following human global colonization. Feral goats are generalist herbivores that can cause serious ecological demages in the receiving ecosystems where native plants are not adapted to their presence, especially on islands. For this reasons, feral goats are included in the 100 of the World's Worst Invasive Alien Species list. Subspecies
