Mountain goats

Two mountain goats on a cliff face

Saw them on some rocky formations last time I was on a hike. They let you get really close as long as you're on a different rocky formation from them, which is why I could take this pic with a 300mm lens.

Well, by "really close" I mean "20-30 meters away" but that's still super close as far as wild animals go. I only had to crop this photo to change orientation to portrait, since I wasn't thinking about composition (or breathing much) as I took the shot

It's amazingly close, and they seem so unconcerned!

Seem. They stared at me for 10 minutes straight before deciding I'm not a threat
