No children has been a favorite song of ology's editor and side husband, carrit, for years. This is one of those tear out your heart, throw it down to garbish's disposal kinds of songs. For some reason they give me the impression that they like o party. Is that true? I will pete the audience to a snippl an, that my hoovs are black. And black my eyes and horns. Sin an, youre coming.
Mountain goats are not goats. And there’s only one living species, Oreamnos americanus. WHAT?? Montana-based wildlife biologist and Oreamnologist Julie Cunningham counts mountain goats from helicopters, traps and tests them for science, and spends even her off days searching for them on mountaintops. We cover their population, sensual mating habits, the feel of their wool, pungent goatwhiff, tips for hikers and how these animals defy gravity scaling near-vertical cliffs. Oh also, why your favorite trail might be delicious.
