The Auckland IslandGoat was a feral breed of domestic goat Capra aegagrus hircus found on Auckland Island , New Zealand . It is now extinct . History Goats were introduced to the Auckland Islands several times in the second half of the nineteenth century, to serve as a source of food for castaway depot castaway sailors , with at least one liberation in 1865 on the main Auckland Island. By the 1970s, only one population remained, a group of about 100 based on the northwest side of Port Ross , in the northeast of the main island. In 1986 and 1987, over 60 animals were removed from the island for captive breeding in New Zealand. A decision was made to eradicate the remaining animals, an operation which was completed by 1992. An investigation in 1999 into the fate of the translocated animals in New Zealand found the breed had become extinct. ref name RBCSNZauckgoat http www.rarebreeds.co.nz auckgoats.html Rare Breeds Conservation Society of New Zealand Auckland Island Goats ref References reflist External links http www.rarebreeds.co.nz index.html Rare Breeds Conservation Society of New Zealand Category Fauna of the Auckland Islands Category Goat breeds Category Feral goats Category Goat breeds originating in New Zealand Category Invasive animal species in New Zealand Category History of the New Zealand outlying islands goat stub ... more details
