mountain goat
Oreamnos americanus
The Snowy Goat lives in the high mountains of North America. This strong mammal has white fur and sharp hooves, allowing it to move easily on steep rocks.
The Snowy Goat differs from other mountain ungulates with its thick white fur and special hooves that allow it to cling to nearly vertical cliffs. It is important for nature because it eats plants and serves as prey for large predators in mountainous areas.
