caprine

Caprines are a group of medium-sized grazing mammals typically adapted for mountainous regions. They are often cultivated by local peoples for some combination of wool, milk, and meat.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Caprines are stocky mammals with split hooves and powerful legs that allow for sure-footedness in difficult or steep terrain. Their horn size and shape vary by the species, but tend to be either short and sharp or large and more ornamental. Their fur or wool tends to be thick and insulated, and colored to blend into their surroundings to avoid predators.
