The mountain goat is good in its environment because it has hooves so that it can jump and climb from rock to rock so as an easier way of transporting themselves. It has hair instead of wool to keep them warm and insulated, so that they can live through the harsh, snowy conditions of mountain life. The white hair also keeps it cooler in warmer seasons as it reflects all of the heat.

∙ 12y agoThe mountain goat's feet are well-suited for climbing steep, rocky slopes, sometimes with pitches of 60 degrees or more, with inner pads that provide traction and cloven hooves that can spread apart as needed. Dewclaws on the back of their feet also help to keep them from slipping. They also have a thick white coat that allows them to blend with the snow to deflect predators, and remain warm in colder weather.
