Mountain goats can be found mostly around the mountainous ranges of North America. Despite their name, mountain goats are not actually part of the goat genus. They are instead in the bovidae family, which are more associated with antelopes and cattle.  The two layers of fur that cover their bodies help protect themselves from the cold climate high in the mountains. Their brilliant white colour and their tendency to live in cold undesirable climates helps provide camouflage and protection against predators. [[http://www.defenders.org/mountain-goat/basic-facts 1]] Because the horns of the mountain goat never shed, it's possible to tell a goat's age by counting the rings on their horns.

Their hooves are primarily designed for mountain climbing. Each hoof is split into two toes for additional grip, and the soles are designed to provide traction against the irregular shape of a rocky environment.

[[https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/m/mountain-goat/ 4]] Due to their incredible skill at mountain climbing, they are the largest mammal that can be found living at altitudes at and above 13,000ft.
