Standing majestically, the mountain goat is surrounded by his rugged home. 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.
