It was a purely innocent moment where I turn around and am suddenly being greeted by this beautiful but imposing goat with some mighty horns. We had just achieved the summit of Mt. Ellinor and it was a total surprise. Not knowing how to act, I chose stillness and recorded the moment. Then it bit my chin and I decided to slooooowly back awayyyyy....
Can you imagine having the confidence to walk up to a complete stranger in the middle of the wilderness and begin vigorously licking their leg?
There are videos of that
Damn, couldn't be me
That's why he's the goat. The goat.

That wilderness is their territory. They can outsmart any beast at that height.
This is what they call symbiosis. The goat gets salt, you get a dose of cuteness.

This goat probably sees a human and thinks "there go one of them salty bois"
Human: "Hello mountain goat." Mountain Goat: "Hello salt lick."

Goat…”Gee just what I ordered…a portable salt lick!” Thanks Amazon!!
Exactly. It did more than greet him.
Ha ha ha. I just asked him if he done the lotto after! Ha ha ha

Everyone is like "obviously he is licking for salt" but what if youre all wrong and the goat is just a real freak like that?
Agreed. This goat’s a man lover no doubt.
You went there 💀

I was unaware that they were so approachable, being in quite a reclusive location. He definitely likes the taste of salt.
Who? Humans or the Goats? I think the goat approached the human. Are you a goat? Most of us humans are approachable and we like salt too but it isn't our primary motive for climbing mountains like yourselves. Respect, from a human
@@dxi8 That's right!. And just a note for that 'one illiterate, solitary, adolescent salty human' . We prefer to be known has 'Oreamnos americanus' just so we got that right. Also, 'respect' (feel soooo 'stupid' using that 'street' lingo) to those like us Oreamnos americanus who have the 'balls, stamina, intelligence (and 'maturity') to adventure up to such heights...and out of their single bedded loney 'adolescent' bedrooms. Respect from a 'goat'.
They get real aggressive in some areas here in the NW and aren't against attacking people who dare stop them from getting their salt lick. They'll even lick rocks that people pee on.

This is actually an initiation ritual into the Brotherhood of the Mountain Goats. You’re now one of them 🐐

brotherhood of the mountain goats sounds like a biker gang
For mountain goats, gravity isn't a law, it's more like...a guideline. Mountain goat hooves facilitate fancy footwork. Just as human rock climbers use their fingers to maneuver their way up a wall, mountain goat hooves have two toes that spread and allow them to grab onto small rocky features. This helps goats maintain their balance while roaming the mountains. Furthermore, the base of each toe is covered in a rough pad that creates a surface akin to climbing shoes. Studies have focused on their ability to propel itself up cliffsides, and biologists attribute the skill to strong hindlimbs and specialized neck and shoulder muscles. While these mountain goats aren't native to the Olympic Peninsula, a cool creature that IS native to the Olympic Peninsula is the endemic Olympic marmot. Marmots are a type of squirrel, and Olympic marmots are about the size of a domestic cat, typically weighing about 8 kg (18 pounds) in summer. A colony may contain as few as one marmot family or multiple families with up to 40! Olympic marmots are very sociable animals which often engage in play fighting and vocalize four different whistles to communicate.

OK? Just sperging out an unrelated essay for the fun of it?
I once met a group of goats at the top of a mountain, they weren't really looking for salt but they were very curious and one was particularly cuddly, followed us around for like 15 minutes, quite impressive to see them jumping around like it was nothing right next to massive drops, quite a fun memory

Here's some more info about mountain goats: They are native to the Rockies of Colorado, Montana, and Idaho, the Cascades, and up to southern Alaska. Canada's British Columbia contains half of the total mountain goat population. This is the Olympic Peninsula, which they were introduced to in the 1920s. They're doing this to lick salt, as the Olympic Mountains lacks natural salt licks unlike the Cascades. It was chosen to eradicate the Olympic population and relocate them to the Cascades after aggressive encounters, including one where a hiker was killed in 2010, though this process has been slow because of the fact they're found at such high altitudes. Despite their name, they're not in the Capra genus, which is the genus that contains all goats. Thus, they are not true goats. Instead, they're the only living ones in the genus Oreamnos! In the high-altitude environments, sometimes above 13,000 ft, they are the largest mammal! Mountain goats are about three and a half feet tall at the shoulder, and weigh between 150 and 220 pounds. Their coats help them to withstand winter temperatures as low as −46 C (−51 F) and winds of up to 160 kilometers per hour (99 mph)! Human attacks are rare, but they can be quite aggressive towards each other. When they're grouped together, they display, charge, and engage in mini-duels four or five times per hour.
very informative, thank you

@@flat-earther Hi, flat-earther, have you become relevant yet? Only as a target for merciless mockery? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Those are called Roosevelt goats and they're not native to the Olympics Teddy Roosevelt reintroduced them and they're a huge problem. They kill people.
For a wild animal living on top of the mountain it looks cleaner than many in my neighborhood
This is the cutest thing ever. His licks are so intense
Thanks he was a good goat.
There was a torture in the past where they'll put goats licking you to the bones basically

There was a torture method long ago that the Roman Catholics used to do, to interrogate people called goat lick?, where it involve goats licking salt from their feet, they would tie them down and dip their feet in salt water and would have goats lick the salt from their feet vigorous times and for days on?, until the skin wears away and the goats would start licking into their flesh' where their brain couldn't handle it anymore and die of instant shock, there's quite a few videos on KZhead that talks about if you want to search it.
Sir this is a Wendy’s
Reminds me of garra rufa fish pedicures for some reason
"Are you having the time of your life" Goat: "Hell yeah"
Heavens no.
Human: "Are you done there little buddy?" 😊😊 Mountain Goat: "Your face looks un-licked..." 😋😋
It started to on my chin. Which had a goatee. It bit my chin and that’s when I had enough of all this.
For people who don’t know, not only are billy goats extremely territorial and aggressive. But they’re also incredibly strong and unless you know how to handle them, they could hurt/kill a large grown man. They’re no joke. So if this every happens to you, let the goat do his thing and while they’re licking, look for a way to get somewhere safe in case it turns aggressive. The goat might be licking you innocently, then the next second charging you full speed, repeatedly. Cute as they may seem, they’re very dangerous animals especially for women, children, the elderly, etc.
Yep I wasn’t gonna a) fuck around to b) find out.
@@kevindication 🤣🤣🤣 that’s the best course of action! I’ve raised many billy goats. I’d be lying if I said they’re my favorite animal. They are a pain, literally and metaphorically lol.
Ive been around dozens of mountain goats.....never had one act agressive in anyway. That said, a big male gored and killed a guy at Victor Pass atop the Switchback in the ONP 7-8 years ago.
@@olyokie And one killed a guy on Hurricane Ridge in Port Angeles a couple years ago.
I think you're right about the location, Greg.
Wow! That goat was really low on salt. Hikers,be sure to carry a managable amount of local natural rock salt to avoid this. It'll keep both you and the animals you might encounter safe.
By the queen sea that was the very thing i tho of when i first saw this, aye not to far from that.
I think what he's doing is the most economic way.

@@thunderbear0 I think crabs beat us on that front
a mountain goat could fuck you up man, those things are huge. Human strenth is in endurance and uintelligence, and but when there is a strong animal like a mountain goat and we dont have a weapon, we're helpless
A normal person of hiker could not kick a mountain goat down the mountain. The goat would maim you for trying
yeah I decided to be peaceful because this bro was huge and had REAL sharp things on its head and was ALREADY king of the mountain.
I like he calls him a little buddy... complete unaware that this beast of a goat could knock him off the mountain if he wished so!😂

This goat lives in the Olympics, which have no rock salt so salt is hard for them to find. Mountain goats aren't native to the Olympics. I can't remember why but they were introduced there in the early 1900s. However they are native to the nearby Cascade mountains, which DO have rock salt. Since mountain goats in the Olympics get very little salt naturally, they are much more bold and/or aggressive toward humans in the Olympics than in the Cascades. Generally goats in the Cascades keep to themselves. Thankfully a project has been underway to remove the goats from the Olympics. A few goats remain since the part of the Olympics they live in is too rugged and remote to reach with the equipment needed
Last time I went, I didn’t see many goats.

The national parks had a problem with this a while back cause the goats were becoming aggressive with visitors. They tranquilized a bunch and had them airlifted further away from the highly-traveled areas. Normally they get salt from rocks up high on the mountains but when they found out we have salt on our skin they would climb on top of people to get the salt. Mind you these are not small animals by any means and their hooves can be quite sharp too.
Yeah these beasts are not to be trifled with. Glad they’ve been relocated
pay the salt toll!
That's right. If suddenly you meet a mountain goat and if it licks you, then just let it do its thing. There was one idiot who shouted at a goat and as a result, this fool got large bruises. He's lucky he didn't die.
If your goat homie don't greet you like this after climbing a mountain, he ain't a real homie

He’s loving that salt.
I love those horizontal pupils of theirs. Such a unique appearance.
They have great line of sight
I would be scared af. how was he able to leave? I feel like the mountain goat would never stop licking me because I'd be covered in sweat... but I wouldn't be able to stop it
Not only that but with all that licking, any mosquito repellent and sunscreen is now gone and will need to be reapplied (and quickly if they are really high up!).
They’re not vicious animals. They’re actually quite friendly.
