A goat-antelope, or caprid, is any of the species of mostly medium-sized bovids that make up the subfamily Caprinae (as treated here), part of the Bovidae family of ruminants.
The domestic sheep and domestic goat are both part of the goat-antelope group by its widest definition. The term "goat-antelope" does not mean that these animals are true antelopes: a true antelope is a bovid with a cervid-like or antilocaprid-like morphology.
