Rocky Mountain Goat

Historical reference: Do not rely on this information. It is very old. About this collection

Rocky Mountain Goat (Haplocerus montanns), or Mazama, an aberrant American antelope, now confined to the north of California. The long hair is yellowish-white, and in general appearance it is not unlike a diminutive albino bison. The flesh is uneatable, from its strong musky smell, due to the musk-glands behind the horns.
