Egan: Adaptaitons for a specific environment

Domestic Goat
Capra aegagrus hircus
These Goats have 4 chamber stomachs that allow them to eat just about anything. This adaptaion allows them to survive in their mountainous environment becuase they are able to survive by eating things like bark and tough plants. Also, the unbelieveable size of their stomachs allows them to hold up to 10.5 quarts of material in their stomachs, making it easy to go longer without eating. Their stomachs make them well suited to live in their mountainous environments.
