KimberleyB次元官网网址檚 James B次元官网网址楢rchieB次元官网网址 Archibald and friends visiting from England had quite the wildlife encounter last week while heading to St. Mary Lake near Kimberley for some fishing.
On the drive to the lake they saw what appeared to be a goat in peril up the side of a mountain. It turned out that a baby mountain goat had fallen and been lodged in between two rocks. The distraught mother was not too far away.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 sure my friends never expected to get this close to our local wildlife,B次元官网网址 Archibald said.
The group jumped into action, parking their truck and running B次元官网网址 one of the friends in flip flops B次元官网网址 towards little hooves flailing in the air.
The slope was slippery with the overnight rain, Archibald said.
B次元官网网址淎s we started climbing, the mother stood over her kid and tilted her head towards us. We were very cautious she wasnB次元官网网址檛 going to ram us off the cliff. She then backed off and run up a couple hundred feet and watched.B次元官网网址
ArchibaldB次元官网网址檚 friend, Martin, was able to free the goat and put it on the rocks. Within moments, the kid realized they were safe and took off up the rocks to rejoin with Mom.
B次元官网网址淪eeing it was down three feet and stuck on its back, itB次元官网网址檚 a good thing we didnB次元官网网址檛 keep driving and were able to help.B次元官网网址
