Oreamnology (MOUNTAIN GOATS ARE NOT GOATS) with Julie Cunningham
b'Mountain goats are not goats. And there\\u2019s 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. \\nJulie Cunningham\\u2019s bio \\nA donation was made to the Rocky Mountain Goat Alliance: GoatAlliance.org \\nYou may also enjoy: Cervidology (DEER), Bovine Neuropathology (HEADBUTTING), Neuropathology (CONCUSSIONS), Cryoseismology (ICEQUAKES), Bryology (MOSS), Phenology (SEASONS)\\nSponsors of Ologies\\nTranscripts and bleeped episodes\\nSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, masks, totes!\\nFollow @Ologies on Twitter and Instagram\\nFollow @AlieWard on Twitter and Instagram\\nSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media\\nTranscripts by Emily White of The Wordary\\nWebsite by Kelly R.
