A stunning mountain goat crosses a snow drift before disappearing down the sheer side of a mountain face. What a magical creature! Although native to much of the Northern Rockies, mountain goats have recently been introduced to the Colorado rockies. They have since thrived at the higher elevations, but seem to be putting stress on neighboring bighorn sheep. Mountain goats tend to be more territorial, but climate change may be enough to hinder their habitat advance. It will be interesting to see how this drama plays out.
