. The American natural history; a foundation of useful knowledge of the higher animals of North America. Natural history. COURAGE OF THE MOUNTAIN GOAT 45 North American hoofed animal which does not become utterly panic-stricken when brought to bay by dogs. An elk, deer, sheep or caribou cornered on a narrow ledge will quickly leap off to instant death; but the marvellously cool. SKELETON OP AN ADULT MALE MOUNTAIN GOAT.
