If you see some blindfolded goats soaring through the sky, don't freak out. It's just the US government relocating the mountain goats to their natural habitat in the northern Cascade Mountains.
It's just the US government relocating the mountain goats from Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest in Washington to their natural habitat in the northern Cascade Mountains.The government has hired a private contractor that specializes in the capture and transport of wild animals, the National Park Service said.
They're are attracted to mineral salt licks that are found in the Cascades, but because there are no mineral salt licks in Olympic National Park, they have sought out humans' salty sweat and urine. Native goat populations in the Cascades have been slow to recover from overhunting."Mountain goat relocation will allow these animals to reoccupy historical range areas in the Cascades and increase population viability," US Forest Service wildlife biologist Jesse Plumage said.
