Oreamnology (MOUNTAIN GOATS ARE NOT GOATS) with Julie Cunningham

Oreamnology (MOUNTAIN GOATS ARE NOT GOATS) with Julie Cunningham

Mountain goats are not goats. And there’s only one living species, Oreamnos americanus. WHAT?? Montana-based wildlife biologist and Oreamnologist Julie Cunningham counts mountain goats from helicopters, traps and tests them for science, and spends even her off days searching for them on mountaintops. We cover their population, sensual mating habits, the feel of their wool, pungent goatwhiff, tips for hikers and how these animals defy gravity scaling near-vertical cliffs. Oh also, why your favorite trail might be delicious.
