Horn plate. Domestic goat horns (A–D,F–K) are remarkably diverse compared to the wild form (E), although horn form may be shared across different breeds (e.g., Sempione and Valais Blackneck: B,C), or may differ between the sexes of one breed (e.g., Sempione female and male: B,J). Skulls are shown in frontal view and lateral view (when available). Images are scaled approximately to similar length, i.e., they are not to scale. Note that the selection of breeds/populations shown here is not comprehensive. (A) Unknown breed (ZMB Mamm A14011); (B) Sempione, female (Naters1_Mayara); (C) Valais Blackneck (Naters_1666203); (D) unknown breed (ZMUZH 17734); (E) wild goat, Capra aegagrus (ZIN12488); (F) Capra grigia (Spirito_Florian1); (G) Pfauenziege/Taubenziege (Althus1); (H) unknown breed (AF0630); (I) unknown breed (ZMB Mamm #6658); (J) unknown breed (ZMB Mamm #6709); (K) Sempione male (“Albino” in his natural environment).
