Cave Goats are a close cousin of the mountain goat but they are rarely seen as rarely emerge from their caves during daylight hours. Cave Goats are often mistaken for Mountain Goats when seen during the day. Of course I am telling tall tales but this photo called out for one.

This was a fine day at the goat cliffs as I got to see many of my flickr friends. In attendance were, Joy for it, Idaho Bill, Teagden, and Woody 50.

Bull Moose sniffing for pheromones. Pheromones are a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting outside the body of the secreting individual to impact the behavior of the receiving individual. There are alarm pheromones, food trail pheromones, sex pheromones, and many others that affect behavior or physiology. This guy is keyed in on the sex pheromones, that is why he is smiling :D

This prime breeding Bull Moose is in Grand Teton National Park. This particular morning Idaho Bill introduced me to Big Sky Ross. I meet more and more of my flickr friends all the time :D
