Subject: Mountain Goat mother and kid, Oreamnos americanus

Location: Arapaho National Forest, Colorado

Stock Number: 04-1257

Comments: The Mountain Goat mother gives birth to her kid in May or June, and the pair remain together for about one year. Sometimes the mother will give birth to two or three kids instead of one.

The kid in this photo is a newborn, but is already adept at negotiating the rocky terrain.
