YES! Its incredable but not many people know that in fact they are distant cousins. Llamas started a family in South America as they got ousted by their posh, european cousins making a new life primarily in Peru.

no...The goat is a member of the Bovidae family and is closely related to the sheep not deer as both are in the goat-antelope subfamily Caprinae.

What are goats related to?

Goats are related to sheep for obvious reasons such as hoofs and horns, tails and fur (wool) but some think they are related to deer (more than they are to sheep) because deer have the same tail and they grow horns and they also have hooves while sheep have wool and deer have fur but goats don't have wool they have fur. Goats could also be related to horses through the hooves gene but that would be a short scientific reason why. We all originate from something!
