Description

The mountain goats of Washington's Olympic Mountains were never supposed to be there. Released by a hunting club in the 1920s into a range with almost no natural salt, they learned to seek it from hikers, with deadly results. Here's how 548 goats were tested, airlifted, and removed in one of the biggest wildlife operations in U.S. history. Hiked the Olympics or the Cascades?
