Caprinid

Explanation:
Goats and sheep make up a tribe within the Bovidae family called Caprini (the adjective would be caprinid) that include six goat, six sheep and five related species. The six species of goats can be distinguished by their horn shapes:

1. Capra aegagrus, the wild (or bezoar) goat of Near East Asia has scimitar-shaped horns with a sharp anterior keel and a few knobs interrupting it.

2. Capra ibex, the ibex of the Alps, Siberia and Nubia has scimitar shaped horns with a flatter front and many transverse ridges.

3. Capra falconeri, the markhor of Central Asia has sharpkeeled horns that are twisted into open or tight spirals.

4. Capra pyrenaica, the Spanish goat has outward-upward curving horns with a sharp posterior keel.

5. Capra cylindricornis, the Dagestan tur of the Caucasus mountains has round outward-back inward curving horns.

6. Capra hircus, the domestic goat evolved principally from capra aegagrus, except for Angora, Cashmere goats, and Damascus types who descended from capra falconeri.
