Do hyenas eat mountain goats?

Mountain goats are safe from most predators high in the mountains. Sometimes a golden eagle might get a young baby, but only the cougar and the lynx are surefooted enough to be dangerous in the high altitudes. If attacked they fight very well with their razor-sharp horns. Rockslides and avalanches are much more dangerous to mountain goats than predators.

What is the air like at very high altitudes?

At very high altitudes, the air is thin and contains lower levels of oxygen. This can make it difficult to breathe and may lead to symptoms of altitude sickness such as headache, fatigue, and dizziness. It is important to acclimate gradually when ascending to high altitudes to avoid these effects.


Why is it more difficult to breath at the top of a mountain?

This is due to the thinness of the atmosphere at high altitudes (e.g. the top of a mountain). The thinness is caused by the loss of molecules to space due to the slight lessening of gravity's pull at high altitudes.
