Information: Also known as kri-kri it was imported to Crete from Asia during the Neolithic Age and later bred with domesticated goats. Since it is found nowhere else it is considered endemic to Crete. It is not a separate sub species of the wild goat but a feral goat coming from the first herds of domestic goats of Asia Minor and other parts of the Eastern Mediterranean around 8000 to 7500 BC.
