An extinct species of goat-like ungulate that lived in the Canary Islands before the human conquest; known only from fossil remains and prehistoric sources.
From Spanish, possibly derived from a Guanche (indigenous Canary Islander) language term; Guanche peoples inhabited the islands before Spanish colonization.
