Mountain goats live in high-altitude places in North America, from Alaska to the Rocky Mountains.  These sure-footed goats grow to over three feet tall, and both the male and female goats have horns on their heads and long "beards" on their chins.

Mountain goats have two layers of fur to keep them warm in their high-altitude habitat, and short, sturdy legs to help them balance on steep mountain terrain. These goats graze on grasses, shrubs and mosses, as well as pine and fur trees.
