Title: The Goat
Post by: boneaddict on November 22, 2020, 04:40:06 PM: The photo doesnt do these rocks justice. I couldnt believe how easy it was for him to clear this rimrock wall

My assumption is there is a lot of horn considering how big it is in body.

In addition, they are actually quite capable rock climbers. It is really amazing to watch them "slither up" rock slabs, or narrow paths in rock faces. I agree with your comment--it is astounding how well they climb.

Or, maybe the possibility of breeding made him forget his fear, and do something silly? We know that young men often do similar things. :o

His coat (cape, hide, pelt, whatever we call it) really defines the natural camo that's intrinsically designed and evolved over the last 10,000 years.
