*** About Mountain Goats: Native to North America, mountain goats are not true goats but are closely related, belonging to the bovid family. They are built to navigate the rugged terrains of alpine environments and are mostly found in the Rocky Mountains, often at elevations above 13,000 feet. With their thick coats and specialized hooves that have a hard outer rim and a soft, gripping center, these animals are adept at climbing steep, rocky surfaces. Mountain goats are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, herbs, sedges, ferns, moss, lichen, and the low shrubs plentiful in their mountain habitats. Both male and female mountain goats develop horns, which add to their distinctive profile and are used for defense and dominance.
