- Summary:
- The American mountain goat is one of the most elusive and least familiar species of hoofed mammals in North America. Confined to the remote and rugged mountains of the western United States and Canada, these extraordinary mountaineers are seldom seen or encountered, even by those who patiently study them. "Life on the Rocks" offers an intimate portrayal of this remarkable animal through the eyes and lens of field biologist and photographer Bruce Smith.
