This photo has appeared here before, but has been rescanned and contains
much detail than the original. This one photo is also being posted to
alt.binaries.pictures.scenic. Three other mountain goat photos are new
scans, from the same series.
For personal use only.

The mountain goat or Rocky Mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) is a large hoofed mammal endemic to North America. A subalpine to alpine species, it is a sure-footed climber commonly seen on cliffs and ice. Oreamnos americanus inhabits the Rocky Mountains and Cascade Range and other mountain regions of the Western Cordillera of North America, from Washington, Idaho and Montana through British Columbia and Alberta, into the southern Yukon and southeastern Alaska.
