  Goat \Goat\ (g[=o]t), n. [OE goot, got, gat, AS. g[=a]t; akin to
     D. geit, OHG. geiz, G. geiss, Icel. geit, Sw. get, Dan. ged,
     Goth. gaits, L. haedus a young goat, kid.] (Zool.)
     A hollow-horned ruminant of the genus Capra, of several
     species and varieties, esp. the domestic goat (Capra hircus
     ), which is raised for its milk, flesh, and skin.

     Note: The Cashmere and Angora varieties of the goat have
           long, silky hair, used in the manufacture of textile
           fabrics. The wild or bezoar goat (Capra [ae]gagrus),
           of Asia Minor, noted for the bezoar stones found in its
           stomach, is supposed to be one of the ancestral species
           of the domestic goat. The Rocky Mountain goat
           (Haplocercus montanus) is more nearly related to the
           antelopes. See Mazame.
