cave mountain goat

A cave mountain goat, also known locally as “McDougal’s Pygmy Cave Goat” is found primarily in dry caves in Northeast Missouri. Ranging in size from 0.6-0.7, they are known for their carnivorous diet, shy but intelligent nature, and outstanding night vision. Very rare, they were placed on the federally listed endangered species list in 2015, with an estimate of only 2,300 remaining.
