 The bezoar ibex is found in the mountains of Asia Minor and across the Middle East.It is also found on some Aegean islands and in Crete, where it is accepted that the goats constitute relict populations of very early domestic animals that were taken to the Mediterranean islands during the prehistoric period and now live as feral populations.The bezoar ibex, if not the sole progenitor of the modern domestic goat, is at least its main progenitor.
