The Domestic Goat is Capra aegagrus hircus. The Domestic Sheep is Ovis Aries.

A sheep/goat cross is a 'geep'. Sheep and goats have a different number of chromosomes, so very rarely is a live animal born from this cross. Most are naturally aborted very early in the pregnancy, and the few that are born alive die very young.

Sheep and goats are not from the same family so therefore are not called the same thing. Sheeps belong to the Caprinae family while the goat belongs to the Bovidae family.
