That's it, I'm out of here, time to put the camera down and go read a book about the birds and the bees ah ah !
yeah there are strange mating rituals all over the world for many species - perhaps none stranger than the human species "hiya baby ... buy ya a drink?"
Damn mountain goats - I'd be hiking around and i'd see them waaaaaaaaaaaay up there on the cliff above - and i swear they'd line you up and "boot" kick a couple pebbles - they would watch the rocks careening down the cliff - if they missed ... the goat would realighn and "boot" kick a few more pebbles - watch the trajectory ... and so on ...
Plus you try to photgraph them - well as soon as you get close enough that they show up as anything more than white specks - they run off to the next peak.
