Mountain Goat

Oreamnos americanus (species), “Rocky Mountain Goat”

On the Web

On Wikipedia

The mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus), also known as the Rocky Mountain goat, is a hoofed mammal endemic to North America. A subalpine to alpine species, it is a sure-footed climber commonly seen on cliffs and ice. Despite its vernacular name and both genera being in the same subfamily (Caprinae), the mountain goat is not a member of Capra, the genus that includes all other goats, such as the wild goat, Capra aegagrus, from which the domestic goat is derived. Instead, it is more closely allied with the serows (Capricornis), gorals (Nemorhaedus), and chamois (Rupicapra).
