Last light catches the winter coats of some rocky mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) as they descend down from snowbird pass. The mighty Robson glacier can be seen below in the distance. The mountain goats are not a member of the genus Capra that includes all other goats, rather they are a member of the antelope family, and should be more correctly referred to as a goat-antelope. Mt Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
I took this shot with a Canon EOS 6D Mark II, using a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM at ISO 1250 and a focal length of 200.0 mm with an aperture of f/5 and a exposure time of 1/3200.

Thanks. Goat-Antelopes is not very catchy.
What is with North America, Bison are incorrectly called Buffalo, Antelopes are called goats lol

That's because the winters here are brutal (-40C for these animals); and so they grow a new thick winter coat each year which is always looks amazing this time of year. By spring its not so clean !

Nice shot. Those look like some tough goats! They're a lot stockier and fluffier than the ones I saw in the sierras of southern Spain. They certainly look right at home in the landscape.

Yes they are quite different and genetically unrelated to the goats in Europe and Asia and should not really be called goats at all.

I like that you capture the soft light.
I'm only self-learning photography and recently I realized again how the light is important and why photographers love the morning and evening light. Thank you for a nice photos.
