Mountain Goat, non-native and introduced species in Olympic National Park, down from the high country into the lowlands. Goats were introduced into the Olympic Mountains, in the 1920's from British Columbia, for reasons of hunting, before the Park was established. The animals flourished and have been an overwhelming management problem, competing with native mammals and turning alpine meadows into dust bowls, and have also killed and/or maimed Park visitors, without provocation.

Thanks for looking.

Bob

Nice catch. Have they acclimated enough for them to consistently to be out in the open like that?

Many thanks, Lilki, for your most welcome and kind comments and glad you like the image.

Unfortunately, they have acclimated too well to human presence and there have been non-provoked lethal encounters to Park visitors in recent years.

Very nice shot. I had no idea they would be so aggressive.

I do love the short leggings fashion trend....but do realize that animals that appear quite docile can be anything but.
Very nice shot btw.

I believe one lethal attack in a hundred years does not make a pattern, though they are truly capable of harm (they are really powerful).
