This goat comes in various amounts of colors from red, brown, white and black.They have large curved horns and small ears. Whats weird about this goat is that both male and female goats have beards. they range in sizes 130 to 300 pounds. They are mostly found in Greek Islands like Creta. They live in the mountains which is very cold. A common adaptation of these goats are their wool fur, which helps them to survive in the mountains. Also its horns are an adaptation. Its horns are used to defend themselves and helps them fight for females. These goats are herbivores (plant eaters). One of the reasons why they are threatened is because they are losing more and more of land each year to humans expanding their societies.

Manzanita "Mariposa Manzanita"
Obviously, this is a producer. This plant is found in the foothill regions of Sierra Nevada. This is an abnormal plant because it likes to grow in mostly dry, sunny areas. When they are young, they can tolerate small amounts of water, but as they grow older they die out if they are over watered. It has green leaves and maroon colored branches. The branches stand out because they look so odd against the bright green leaves. This plant is capable of becoming a 20 feet tall tree with thick branches. These plants have white or pink flowers. They produce seeds every year. Tjis plant is used to treat mild urinary infections, and kidney inflammation. Usually, natural fires occur in the chapparal, but since humans started to overpopulate, those natural fires became limited. This is bad for these plants because they depend on the fires to burn off some of their seeds. Some communities have started controlled fires to rebuild the population.
