mountain goats

Mountain goats are agile, hoofed animals found in North America, primarily in rugged mountainous regions. They have thick, white fur that insulates them from cold weather and curved horns that can grow long. Unlike true goats, they are more closely related to antelopes. Mountain goats are exceptional climbers, adept at navigating steep and rocky terrains thanks to their specialized hooves and muscular build. They primarily eat grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation. Social animals, they often live in groups, especially during winter. Their remarkable balance and strength make them a fascinating example of adaptation to harsh environments.
