Behavior of Mountain Goats in Relation to U.S. Highway 2, Glacier National Park, Montana

Author:	Francis J Singer
Edition/Format:	Article : English
Publication:	The Journal of Wildlife Management, Jul., 1978, vol. 42, no. 3, p. 591-597
Database:	JSTOR
Summary:	A study was conducted in 1975 on mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) crossing a highway to visit a natural mineral lick. Eighty-seven successful crossings of the highway involving 692 mountain goats were observed, and an estimated 812 crossings occurred during the 1975 lick season. Crossing success was associated (P < 0.05) with the size of groups, all groups (2-55 goats) being more successful than individuals. Crossing success was also associated (P < 0.05) with sex and age of the group leader, the most successful groups being led by an adult nanny with kid at side. Successful highway crossings after July 1 were significantly crepuscular (P < 0.005). Collision hazards and high disturbance during crossings suggested that a goat crossing should be constructed and visitors should be restricted from the crossing area.  Read more...
