Feral goats certainly do that.
There are literally millions in Oz
They have always been feral, and I am buggered if I know just how and when they were introduced .
Fences do not hold them in to any 1 location.
These days they are worth $60-$70 a head, and are mustered on motorbikes and choppers, and shipped off to market.
Can't say as I blame the farmers for that.
It really is amazing just how many are out there

Any species introduced into an environment without natural predators

will over populate said environment...

That's why man has to step in and cull the herd.
