Wild mountain goats

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mountain goats are not often being hunted than any big game animals and they are very hard to stalk these billies up the mountains.

send that teacher up here-we'll show them differently....

You are also right on the flowers-
Except atleast in my area-It's not uncommon to see one hand feeding these guys.....It becomes very populated in this area when summer hits-
This is the main area for the crazies that actually try to surf and do all the water activities like para sailing and what not...Also very popular spot for rock climers as well-So they are use to human population in this area....Every now and then one will get spooked and fall to the roadway-But not very often at all-It's amazing to watch these guys traverse the mountains......especially at full running speeds....

Anyhow.......

Or maybe he meant we're paving roads upon wildflower lands? Probably.
 
That's so cool! Animals in daylight lol :D
things over here are a little different, most animals other than birds, stray cats and dogs are nocturnal cause of the weather, they come out every now and then but not too often.

Well thats certainly interesting-But I could also see why.....
What kind of animals you guys got over there?

hedgehogs (mostly long eared hedgehogs), bats though I haven't personally come across any, rodents (jerboas, jirds and gerbils), reptiles (geckos, agamids, lizards, monitors), snakes (including the lovely arabian horned viper), skinks, several species of scorpions and spiders (I love camel spiders!)
honey badgers could also be found crossing the boarder from iraq.

the ones that were once here, but due to selfish humans, are gone are indian wolves, arabian wolves, arabian red foxes, fennec foxes, the indian grey mongoose, sand cats, caracals and cheetahs.

I've got to say, it's a lot more diverse than humans think, we have a lot of birds and kuwait is migratory hotspot so if I were to mention those I would never finish, that includes almost 400 different species.
A few from the top of my head are buntings, finches, sparrows, starlings, shrikes, flycatchers, a lot of warblers, bulbuls, pipits and wagtails, swallows and martins, larks, hoopoes, bee-eaters, kingfishers, swifts, nightjars, owls, doves and pigeons, terns, gulls, sandpipers, plovers, falcons, ospreys, hawks and eagles, flamingos and herons.

Sorry for the long post. :D

WOW-
I never could have guessed that-You guys certainly got the variety....I could see all the birds and reptiles and rodents though....But not the other's-

It a shame that the selfish humans have pretty much driven them species out......They are basically trying to do the same here with the wolves and similar species......Hopefully we get to put a stop to it before it gets to that point....

Well this has caught my interest a bit-
Thanks...
I'm off to go and search for some pics of these things now....Appreciate the info.

No problem, I love the wildlife here :)
and that's the main reason I'm devoting my life to animals, people are too blinded to see reality and I'll be ready for some butt kickin' :D
though it will be hard fighting for animals in a place like kuwait where all that people care for is money and not even all forms of human rights are practiced.

I couldn't even imagine it Gal-

You're certainly a good person it seems-Hopefully you can accomplish the goals you set for yourself.....

I certainly enjoy your posts-and you opening up about your "life style" over there to me-It's appreciated greatly....I find it very interesting....Wish I could come over and see it all in person one day...
