***About Mountain Goats:

*** Mountain Goats, known for their incredible agility, dwell primarily in North America's rocky mountain regions. Excelling in their climbing abilities, these mammals navigate vertiginous terrains with ease, thanks to their specialized hooves that possess inner pads providing a secure grip and dewclaws that help maintain balance. Adapted to cold climates, their thick coats protect them from freezing temperatures, while their diet primarily consists of grasses, herbs, and low-growing shrubs. The social structure of mountain goats is intriguing, with females (nannies) forming herds and males (billies) typically remaining solitary or forming smaller, less stable groups.
