    Not calling it a goat is a bit of a stretch, since all of its closest relatives are animals that also have colloquial names with "goat" in them.

    Then again, if this is supposed to be a goat, then sheep are goats too.

      then sheep are goats too

      When I was studying Chinese, my teacher taught me both sheep and goats are 羊 (then went on to explain more specific terms)

      sheep are goats too

      I've always believed this to be basically true since they can hybridize

      MG's closest relative is the takin, which is totally a goat, even if it's an absolute freak
