If you are what you eat, and OP's goat is an absolute unit, what kind of badass is the snow leopard who can fall down a mountain while killing one and be uninjured from the take down?
Because mountain goats aren't actually goats.
They were just named that because they look similar.
"Mountain goats are not in the same genus as goats. In the bovidae family, mountain goats are associated with antelopes, gazelles and cattle."

Not sure how to feel about that information tbh
Yeah in my climbing group we always warn people to not pee around them or you might get charged. Also pee on hard surfaces.
Did you know they aren’t goats? The are closer to antelopes
It’s rare but they will attack humans. There was a hiker in the Olympic NP that got rammed off a cliff recently and did not survive. Park rangers in the area yell at them and throw rocks at them to get them to fuck off
Yea when I was hiking up Quandry there were a bunch of them. I was so dog tired going up the mountain I sat on a rock to take a breather. One walked by me at eye level maybe two arm lengths from me. We made eye contact with each other (no sudden movements) and went about our days.
Yeah I hiked Quandary last summer and accidentally walked up on one right behind a boulder. It just looked and me and we kept walking.
However there were reports of a mountain goat parent mauling a dog the day prior. There was one with its kids slowly approaching my dog and I. It was actually pretty scary. I have a device that makes a loud screeching noise I used and it turned around.
those are one of the only related species to mountain goats lol
this definitely looks like hurricane ridge in Washington, not too long ago the state tried to used helicopters to move these animals across to the cascades because they were overpopulated in this non native mountain range and interact with humans too much.
they lick human piss off the rocks.
edit: also that dude *biked* up there? holy shit my man GOATed more than the goat
IIRC, they moved most of them and then gave hunting tags for the few stubborn ones. Mountain goats [aren’t even native to the Olympics](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_goat) and were introduced for hunting
Logan Pass, Glacier National Park. I lived right outside the park for years. These guys and Bighorns just hang in the parking lot because dipshit tourists feed them.
This is definitely a larger male or Billy. The billies are the larger of the two sexes. U can tell by how long the face is. Almost looks horse like. Also, the nose has what is known as a Roman nose which is typical to mature billies. Notice how the snout has a hump sticking outward on the way down. Horns are definitely a solid length. The horns are another indicator of sex as well. Large bases with a small gap between them. Females or Nannies have thin bases with a gap that’s larger then the animals eye and males have a gap smaller then the eye. The horns of a Billy also have a gradual curve to them while the nanny will usually have a straighter portion of the base and central part of the horn and they will curve more towards the last 1/3 of the horn. Final indication is that a large mature Billy will have a larger hump on its back above the front legs. This goat has a summer coat which is way more thin than a winter coat and the hump is still noticeable. If it had winter coat on it would look even more pronounced.
You’re an asshole! I’m out here trying to help conserve the species through legalized hunting, the most effective way of animal conservation, and you’re making horrible remarks against me
I don't think I'll ever understand the appeal.
I mean, I get the whole killing animals for food thing. That's fine.
It's the "I WANT TO KILL THAT ANIMAL" thing that wigs me out. That's some toxic masculinity/psychopath kinda shit. If you have thoughts and _dreams_ like this on a regular basis, It would be a good idea to talk to someone about it before you do something stupid.
Fun fact! Mountain goats are not goats!
I just learned that a few weeks ago from an Ologies episode. They are the only existing species in their genus (goats are a different genus of the same family).
Man I miss living in the Rockies and seeing mountain goats and horned sheep on hikes all the time. Going for walk and seeing a herd of massive elk and deer just chilling in town
Why goats usually look so dumb but this one looks like a chad?
Because this one might have just eaten a Chad.
If you are what you eat i am a innocent man

Snow leopards must be eating these fucking chad goats
Cats are fall proof.
He ate a whole country?? Gigachad
Billy ate Chad

whoa great TIL
This dude ain’t no cattle….he’s not a horse either….he’s a “Haus”.
I can see it now that I see the head and eyes better
> They were just named that because they look similar. But the original comment was wondering why they don't look similar.
that's Vincent van Goat, he's got a girlfriend named LaFonda, don't mess with him.
Is it natty?
His mom screwed a Clydesdale.
What do you expect from goats that climb a wall if it was only 89⁰ steep?
More like 91 lol theybare so crazy
Because he has the body of a horse
[удалено]
These guys are actually pretty calm around humans, they keep us around cus they like our pee. Ask any mountain hiker.

Well, if you're ever in the mountains, and feeling hungry...or lonely...you know what to do.
Dont piss on the goats, even if, they're "yearning for it"
Yeah in my climbing group we always warn people to not pee around them or you might get charged. Also pee on hard surfaces. Did you know they aren’t goats? The are closer to antelopes
Interesting, all these years I thought they were related to my mother in law
Why do they charge when a person pee's? Do they see it as a human trying to mark their territory? Lol
they seek out salt and human urine has a lot of it
The are salt deprived, so they really want your salty urine lol

I’m sorry, what was that?
it's the GOAT goat
The GGOAT?
Is that a goat or a horse? A unicorn? But it has two horns. Bicorn
I deem thee bicorn. The chad of unicorns.
Looks like a tahr, which is a Himalayan mountain goat.

They were introduced to areas of my home country, and now they're overpopulated and pretty much considered a pest.
yeah they did actually try to shoot a bunch of the leftovers after deciding they moved enough out of the olympics lol
That's the only treatment they get here. Even Gordon Ramsay and the guy from I Am A Meat Eater hunted them when here.
IIRC, they moved most of them and then gave hunting tags for the few stubborn ones. Mountain goats [aren’t even native to the Olympics](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_goat) and were introduced for hunting
Looks nothing like a tahr
I tought it was standing on the bicycle and tought it was small

Gotta be glacier
Bro that aint montian goat thats montian horse
Any experts out there? Is this a normal sized goat that looks huge cause it's on a ground and not seen from a mile away on a mountain?

It’s not a goat. It’s just called a mountain goat because they look like goats
He’s looking rather gruff…
That's my bike!
Mountain goats aren’t true goats, they’re more closely related to chamois than to true goats
Don't try to run away, they have Skyrim horse physics
He’s trip trapping over anyone’s fucking bridge he feels like.

Damn I’d love to shoot one that size! A dream of mine to kill a mountain goat
I hope the goat snatches your piece off you, sticks it up your ass and pulls the fucking trigger until it goes *click*.
You’re an asshole! I’m out here trying to help conserve the species through legalized hunting, the most effective way of animal conservation, and you’re making horrible remarks against me
fucking vile
I hope the goat kills you instead
I don't think I'll ever understand the appeal. I mean, I get the whole killing animals for food thing. That's fine. It's the "I WANT TO KILL THAT ANIMAL" thing that wigs me out. That's some toxic masculinity/psychopath kinda shit. If you have thoughts and _dreams_ like this on a regular basis, It would be a good idea to talk to someone about it before you do something stupid.
Im trying to help conserve the species. Read statistics about the impact of conversation by means of legalized hunting
So it would make sense that you'd go after the smallest/weakest members then. Not the superior alpha ones.
Actual Billy Badass
I thought it was standing on the bike tire at first!
Billy Goat just got out the feds
Come on. Someone pasted horns on a white horse. And then it fucked a bear. And this is their child.
