A mountain goat kid (Oreamnos americanus), also known as the Rocky Mountain goat frolics on the slope of Byers Peak. Mountain goats are protected from harsh winter elements with their wooly double coats. Their undercoats of fine, dense wool is covered any an outer layer of longer, hollow hairs. In the spring, mountain goats molt rubbing their hair against bushes, trees and rocks to shed the thick wool during the warmer months. Mountain goats are herbivores spending most of their time grazing on grasses, plants and shrubs of their alpine habitat
