Kimberley含羞草研究社檚 James 含羞草研究社楢rchie含羞草研究社� 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.

含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檓 sure my friends never expected to get this close to our local wildlife,含羞草研究社� Archibald said.

The group jumped into action, parking their truck and running 含羞草研究社� one of the friends in flip flops 含羞草研究社� towards little hooves flailing in the air.

The slope was slippery with the overnight rain, Archibald said.

含羞草研究社淎s we started climbing, the mother stood over her kid and tilted her head towards us. We were very cautious she wasn含羞草研究社檛 going to ram us off the cliff. She then backed off and run up a couple hundred feet and watched.含羞草研究社�

Archibald含羞草研究社檚 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.

含羞草研究社淪eeing it was down three feet and stuck on its back, it含羞草研究社檚 a good thing we didn含羞草研究社檛 keep driving and were able to help.含羞草研究社�
