Domain: Eukarya
The goat is classified as Eukarya because it has
linear DNA enclosed in membrane-bound nuclei
within its cells.
Kingdom: Animalia
The goat is classified as Animalia because it is a
multicellular heterotroph with true tissues. In
addition, its cells have no cell wall.
Phylum: Chordata
The goat is classified as Chordata for many reasons.
It is triploblastic, meaning that it develops from three
germ layers, and has a coelom. In addition, it exhibits bilateral body symmetry and has a segmented body, a complete digestive system, and an endoskeleton. Lastly, during its development, the goat possesses a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal gill slits, an endostyle, and a post-anal tail (which it keeps into its adult life).
Subphylum: Vertebrata
The goat is classified as Vertebrata because it has a vertebral column, or a backbone.
Class: Mammalia
The goat is classified as Mammalia because its body is covered in hair, it possesses glands, and it is homeothermic (self-regulates its body temperature).
Order: Artiodactylia
The goat is classified as Artiodactylia because it is paraxonic. In other words, it has an even number of toes and the plane of symmetry in its foot passes between its third and fourth digits.
Family: Bovidae
The goat is classified as Bovidae because it has horns on its frontals (the anterior portion of the skull) and is unguligrade, or has hoofs. In addition, the goat is an herbivore and has a four-chambered stomach.
Genus: Capra
Species: Capra hircus
The Latin name hircus means goat. Capra hircus therefore means “she-goat goat”. As this redundant name suggests, this is the member of the genus Capra that most people associate with the name goat. Capra hircus refers to what is commonly known as the domestic goat, or goat, and can also be used in reference to the feral or wild goat.
