Fun Fact, pictured above appears to be a goat on a mountain, which is NOT a Mountain Goat because Mountain Goats are not goats. Mountain Goats are Antellopes.

like pronghorn antelope, is not an antelope at all, its antilocarpine, sister to the giraffe family. or the american cheetah, is actually a suped up puma relative.
