Sure of Foot

High upon a mountain peak
A youngster gives a furtive peek
Lofty crests pierce thinned-out air
Where Mountain Goats both live and dare
They tread the heights with fancy moves
Sure of foot with cloven hooves
Adapted to the altitude
Far above in solitude

At over 14,000′ elevation, a kid Rocky Mountain Goat pauses briefly during a ‘rock scrambling’ play session. Check out the capricious creature’s cloven clogs which enable it to grasp and negotiate the rocky terrain with ease.
