The
Wild Goat is widespread species of goat which is also the ancestor of the
domestic goat. The domestication of goats started at least 10,000 years ago in Northern Iran. The term
scapegoat is derived from a Jewish Tradition of choosing two goats during
Yom Kippur, sacrificing one while releasing the other to the wilderness, and with it, the sins of the community.
As I was preparing to take the photograph posted in
