Mountain goats are the most agile of mountain mammals, moving confidently on rocky ledges for safety from predators but becoming vulnerable when wandering to meadows to graze. They primarily eat grasses, mosses, lichens and woody plants, living only in steep, rocky mountain ranges where forests meet slopes. Their hooves have cushioned, skid-proof pads allowing sure-footedness and agility in their habitat.

Mountain goats are the most agile of mountain mammals, moving confidently on rocky ledges where they are safe from predators but becoming vulnerable when they wander to graze in meadows. They are found exclusively on steep, rocky slopes meeting forests, and eat grasses, mosses, lichens, herbs and woody plants. Their hooved feet have cushioned pads allowing sure-footedness and grip on rocky terrain.

Mountain goats are highly agile mammals that confidently traverse rocky mountain ledges for safety from predators. They only become vulnerable when wandering away from the ledges to graze in meadows, where they can be preyed on by grizzlies, wolves, coyotes, or large eagles that target the calves. Found exclusively in steep, rocky areas where mountains meet forests, mountain goats have cushioned, skid-proof hooves adapted for their sure-footedness and agility in navigating rugged terrain.

They primarily eat grasses, mosses, lichens and herbs found in high mountain areas near forests, where their hooved feet with cushioned pads allow sure-footedness and agility. Large eagles prey on mountain goat calves.
Zion slideshow
Zion National Park features Angels Landing, a summit that towers 1,488 feet above the Virgin River. The path up Angels Landing begins with a gentle, sandy trail but soon incorporates steep rock faces and chains to assist hikers up the dangerous sections. Hikers are rewarded at the top with views of the canyon and surrounding forests.
Wild animals
This document discusses different animals found in various habitats including forests, mountains, lakes, savannahs, and deserts. In forests, there are both small and large animals such as deer, woodpeckers, moose, and badger. Strong animals that enjoy climbing, such as mountain goats and snow leopards, live in mountains. Lakes are home to animals like swans, geese, loons, raccoons, and beavers. The savannah contains large animals including lions, giraffes, zebras, and elephants. Poisonous creatures such as scorpions, foxes, and lizards can be found in deserts.
National bird
The document discusses the national birds of several European countries, including the United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Spain, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Turkey, and Iceland. It focuses on providing details about Iceland's national bird, the Arctic puffin, describing its physical characteristics such as being approximately 32 cm long with a 53 cm wingspan and weighing 380g, its feeding behaviors of diving in the ocean to catch fish like sandeel and herring, and its breeding process of nesting in colonies on coastal cliffs or islands and forming long-term pair bonds to incubate a single egg. The puffin has a lifespan of 20-25 years but its populations face threats from being hunted for eggs, feathers and meat.

Caelyn Murdaugh penguin 1
The emperor penguin is found in Antarctic ice packs and surrounding oceans. They live in large packs and are well-adapted to the harsh conditions. Males incubate eggs for over a month without food while females gather food. They prey on fish, squid and shrimp, and have few predators besides leopard seals and killer whales.

The document describes various activities like running over a bridge, swimming under a shark, walking into a mine, running through a forest, riding up a hill, sliding down a mine, and riding to a hill, and swimming from a shark.
Antarctica’s animalsby jmaddy
The document describes several Antarctic animals. Emperor penguins breed from April to December and can grow up to 1.5 meters and 30kg. Leopard seals are the largest predators in Antarctica, growing up to 3 meters long and weighing 350kg. Southern elephant seals are the largest seals in the world, reaching up to 4.5 meters long and weighing up to 4 tonnes. Crabeater seals feed by taking mouthfuls of water containing krill which get trapped in their teeth.
Deserts
This document provides information about desert environments. It defines deserts as lands with extreme heat and dryness, as well as flash floods. Deserts receive less than 10 inches of rain annually and have long periods without rain. Temperatures are very hot during the day but drop significantly at night without clouds or vegetation. Deserts come in hot and cold varieties, with Antarctica being the largest cold desert and Sahara being the largest hot desert. Plants and animals in deserts have adaptations like water storage, reduced water loss, nocturnal activity, and obtaining water from seeds to survive the harsh conditions.

The document describes 5 animals: the tiger, whale, panda bear, lion, and cow. It notes that each animal lives in a different habitat (jungle, sea, bamboo forest, jungle, or farm) and eats different foods (meat, krill, bamboo, meat, or grass). It also lists 2-3 distinguishing physical characteristics for each animal such as stripes, size, teeth.
Giant Clams- Cianna & Gracen
Clams live in the Pacific Ocean in habitats of sand and sea grass, where they feed on plankton and small reef fish. They have two-part shells, can grow very large, and while they cannot fully close their mouths, clams are able to harness energy from the sun through photosynthesis. It takes clams approximately 7 years to fully mature from eggs.
