Description

Mountain Goats are really fascinating. To think that a hooved animal is the best of all mountain climbers in all places around the world. Turns out, their hooves are gummy like a pencil eraser, it definitely makes sense.

Atop Mount evans, an entire wild flock was grazing there, and notably where licking the salt off the sidewalks used to melt snow at the park bathroom facilities. The day before we submitted Evans, it was -19˚F with 60mph winds. These are hardy survivors in a bleak landscape at 14,264 feet.

I've said this to other mountain goat pictures, but honestly- with mountain goats doing crazy things like this in crazy elevations and temps- I cant beleive that lions are considered the universal animal for courage. These guys are definitly are more h.a.
