Bushgoat

/ˈbʊʃˌɡoʊt/ noun

Definition

A wild or semi-wild goat that inhabits bushland or scrubland areas.

Etymology

Compound of 'bush' and 'goat', describing goats adapted to forested or scrubland habitats rather than open pasture.

Kelly Says

Bushgoats are incredibly hardy animals that can survive in terrain where most livestock would starve—they eat thorny plants and rough vegetation that nothing else wants!
