What this page adds
The Mountain Goat has a shaggy, thick white coat that provides excellent camouflage in snowy, rocky environments. It possesses short, sharp, jet-black horns that curve slightly backward and a distinct beard, making it look different from many other large mammals in its habitat.
Baby mountain goats are called "kids" and can climb steep rocks within hours of birth!
Both male and female mountain goats grow horns, but males' horns are thicker at the base!
Despite their name, Mountain Goats are more closely related to antelopes and chamois!
