The Kri-Kri goat is a feral goat inhabiting the Eastern Mediterranean. It is also called by some other names such asAgrimi,Bezoar goat,Cretan goat或者克里特岛IBEX.
The Kri-Kri goat was previously considered a subspecies of wild goats. And now the breed is found only on the island of Crete,Greece还有三个小岛就在海上。这三个小岛是Agii Pantes，Dia和Thodorou。
The breed is not thought to be indigenous to Crete. And most likely having been imported to the island during the time of the Minoan civilization.
克里·克里（Kri-Kri）山羊曾经在整个爱琴海中很普遍，但是西克里特岛（Crete）的2400米白山的山峰是他们的最后据点。
该山脉被保护为联合国教科文组织生物圈储备，并拥有另外14种特有动物物种。它们的范围延伸到白山，撒玛利亚国家森林以及Dia，Thodorou和Agii Pandes的胰岛。最近将一些引入了两个岛屿。
The Kri-Kri goat was under threat by the 1960, with a population below 200. Today there are still only about 2000 animals available on the island and they are considered vulnerable.
Excessive hunting for their tender meat, scarcer grazing grounds and diseases are the main reasons for decreasing their numbers.
Hybridization is also a threat, because the Kri-Kri goat population has interbred with ordinary goats. Today hunting them is strictly prohibited. Read more information below.
