About the Mountain GoatFull Range Map & Species Guide →

Shaggy and white, this mountain dweller has short black horns, a beard and a shoulder hump. It lives on steep cliffs and alpine meadows of northwestern North America, from Alaska through the Rockies and Cascades. It grazes on grasses and sedges, climbing with great surefootedness; scan high cliffs and ridges with binoculars in summer, and look for animals at mineral licks, where small family groups often gather.
