Isolated populations are found in foothill and coastal habitats from the Oregon border to San Diego Co., and on Santa Catalina Island. Habitats used include valley foothill hardwood and valley foothill hardwood-conifer, valley foothill riparian, mixed chaparral, coastal scrub, and annual grassland. Goats feed on grasses, forbs, and browse.
Goats return to bedding grounds after a day of foraging in other habitats.
