BALEAREAN BOC
The Balearean Boc (also called Balearean Goat or Majorcan Wild Goat) is an endemic animal in Mallorca, present on the island for more than 4.000 years. The scientific studies determined that the Phoenicians were the first who imported this goat from Eastern Europe while their fights to control the trade in the Mediterranean Sea. This theory is supported by the DNA studies of the Bezoar or the Kri-Kri Ibexes which, once compared, makes the Balearean Boc a relative of these two Ibex. Nevertheless, thousands of years of evolution have been enough to establish a different species, totally adapted to its habitat and holding singular features that make these a unique species.
