Rocky mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus), Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska
These animals are confined to the Rocky Mountains and coastal ranges of northwestern North America. They resemble a sort of shaggy form of the European chamois. Like chamois they are usually found among the mountain tops and generally at high levels. I had the good fortune to spot one in of all places along a rocky shoreline in the Kenai Fjords. From a slide.
