Mountain goats aren't actually goats. When is a goat not a goat? When it can be spotted on a rail-thin rock crevasse at an altitude of 13,000 feet in the northwestern United States and Canada. That animal, while seemingly possessing the stubbornness attributed to the goats found at petting zoos, is actually the biologically distinct mountain goat, the lone extant species of the genus Oreamnos. While related to domestic and wild goats within the Bovidae family, mountain goats belong to the Rupicaprini tribe, a subdivision of "goat antelopes" that includes fellow rock-climbing creatures such as the goral and chamois. Anatomically, rupicaprids differ from other bovids by featuring short, dagger-like horns atop thinner, lighter skulls. Mountain goats have also developed specific features that would feel strange to their cousins in the petting zoo, namely the thick, double layer of fur and suction cup-like hooves that allow them to survive in cold, treacherous environments. Behavior-wise, male mountain goats are more deferential to females than their domestic cousins. They're also far less likely to engage in the sort of head-butting waged between playful kids and competing rivals among true goat herds, due to the potential for injury from those sharp horns. But lest you think these animals suffer from a courage deficiency, just think about how brave you'd be leaping between cliffs more than 2 miles above sea level. Mountain goats enjoy refreshing themselves with human urine. Most guides will advise keeping a safe distance from mountain goats, but sometimes the animals get a little more close and personal than we'd like. That's what started happening in Washington's Olympic National Park, where the ever-growing mountain goat population developed a taste for the salt in human urine and sweat. Although it can make for a fun campfire story or blog post, a brush with these normally elusive wild animals can be dangerous. Furthermore, the increasingly emboldened creatures have been found to be disrupting the ecosystem by trampling and gobbling up vegetation. In response, the National Park Service in 2018 began airlifting mountain goats to the nearby North Cascades National Park, a locale with plenty of the naturally occurring mineral deposits needed to supplement their diets, and fewer of the freely urinating hikers just waiting to blog about their close encounters with intruding wildlife. #Animals

How the mystery was solved. Jane had always been an avid pet lover her whole life. She couldn't stand to see animals hurt or suffering so needless to say she had quite a collection of unwanted pets that cherished her. On her way to the grocery store one evening she had to take a side street due to an accident. She was passing through an older neighbor- hood when something caught her eye and she immediately stopped the car. In a front yard was a dog tied to a chain with no food, water or shade. This infuriated her so much that she knew she had to do something. She went to the house and knocked on the door, looked in the windows and to her surprise the house was empty. Someone moved out and left their dog! Jane knew she had just inherited a new friend. She got the dog home, bathed and fed. She named him Lucky. Lucky quickly found his place in the pack and loved his new home. Shortly after, Jane became concerned because items around the house would go missing. She suspected it to be Lucky because things like this never happened before. Bread would be missing from the counter. They had gone through 2 TV remotes in a month. So Jane invested in the 1280P HD Fish Eye 3.0 MP Camera with Wi-Fi and DVR that you can view anywhere you have Internet. She easily installed it on her hutch in her living room and waited. Lucky dodged the cameras for the first few days. He must have known something was going on. But it wasn't long after he was up to the tricks Jane suspect he was playing. Lucky would take random items from all over the house and hide them under Jane's bed. Jane couldn't wait to get home and discover his treasure trove. Jane couldn't believe all of the items Lucky had hidden. He never destroyed anything, he just collected them. Lucky is now confined to the common areas of the house where he cannot secretly hide things. And Jane still uses her 1280P HD Fish Eye 3.0 MP Camera with Wi-Fi and DVR to keep an eye on her babies.

"The drone skirred high into the air to capture an aerial photo of the wedding." 3. "We ran inside to escape the cloud of insects skirring after us." Word Origin. Unknown, mid-16th century "Skirr" originated from the now-obsolete use of the verb "scour," to mean "move hastily."

Nevaeh Amyah Buchanan (February 3, 2004 - May 24, 2009) Nevaeh passed away when she was 5 years old. She went missing from her apartment complex in Monroe, Michigan. She was last seen playing outside on her scooter. At one point, another child who had been outside playing went to tell Nevaeh's mother that she was riding her scooter in the street. When her mother went outside to tell her to stay on the sidewalk, she had already vanished. A massive search for Nevaeh immediately went underway. Three sex offenders in the area were questioned, and one of them began burning things in his backyard as soon as he returned home from the questioning. However, the three men were all cleared. Sadly, Nevaeh's body was discovered on June 4, 2009 on the banks of a river. She had been buried in a shallow grave, and had died of asphyxiation from being buried alive. There were no signs of sexual assault. Sadly, Nevaeh's murder remains unsolved. Nevaeh was a beautiful, bright, intelligent, and happy little girl. She loved school, and had just graduated from preschool. She was described as a tomboy, who loved motorcycles, stuffed animals, and playing on the playground. Her favorite movie was "The Jungle Book." Nevaeh is greatly missed by all who loved her. Rest in peace, Neveah!
