Mountain goats are a species of wild goat that inhabit mountainous regions. They are also known as IBEX (4 letters) and tahr (4 letters). They are well-adapted to living in steep, rugged terrain and can be found in the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, Tatras, and other mountain ranges. They have long, curved horns and thick fur to protect them from the cold temperatures of their habitat. Mountain goats are sure-footed and can climb even the most difficult slopes with ease.
