Nature's fluffy mountaineers
Mountain goats like this trio in Canada's Yukon territory, aren't ovine but bovine. That is to say, they're related to antelopes and cattle, not goats and sheep. But these sure-hoofed creatures have no trouble climbing icy mountain slopes, taking slow steps as their white fur blends in with the subarctic snows.
