Abaye raised an objection to him:' [It has been taught:] R'Eliezer says, [If one eats of the heleb of] a koy,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A koy is a cross between a goat and a gazelle, and the Sages were in doubt whether it belongs to the genus of cattle and its heleb is forbidden, or to the genus of beasts of chase whose heleb is permitted.

Tosefta Bikkurim
A k'vi (see Bikkurim 2:8) -- how is it like a wild animal? Its blood requires covering like a wild animal. Rabbi Eliezer says, they are liable to bring a variable guilt-offering for [partaking in] their [forbidden] fats. How is it like both a wild animal and a domesticated animal? One who flays (המפשיט not מפסיד, see GR"A) it, [the laws regarding whether its hide is] connected [to its flesh is] like wild animals and domesticated animals (see Tos. Chullin 8:6). And [the laws of] the sciatic nerve apply to it, like they do to wild animals and domesticated animals. If he said, "Behold, I will become a nazirite if [the k'vi] is [neither] a wild animal or a domesticated animal," behold, he has become a nazirite. Rabbi Yosei says, a k'vi is a unique creation unto itself, and the Sages were unable to render a decision about it, if it it is a wild animal or a domesticated animal.
