Only one population now survives, comprising about 100 animals. They live on the north-west side of Port Ross which is one of the driest and warmest parts of the main island. The vegetation on parts of the island, but particularly where the goats now live, has been occasionally burnt and cleared. In summer 1972?73 the status of the goats and of their habitat was surveyed. A preliminary map was drawn of present vegetation around Port Ross, and permanent plots were established to follow continuing vegetational changes. At sea level the southern boundary of goat distribution was a shallow stream. They were constrained altitudinally by the distribution of suitable food sources, and by weather conditions in the upland. Virtually the whole day was spent feeding, and reproductive behaviour, play, or inactive rest were not seen. Ninety-two percent of groups contained five or fewer animals who moved around meeting other groups and parting again. Because of the peat substrate, the goats had overgrown, split hooves and they ran poorly. Five goats caught by hand had body measurements that were, in general, above the means for a mainland population. Seventy-five percent were predominantly white or grey. Direct observation showed that open scrub and fine-grass swards were favoured above forest, tussock grassland, and dense scrub as feeding areas; a conclusion ... Mostrar Tudo
