Harringtons Goat from Grand Canyon National Park

Harrington's Goat (*Oreamnos harringtoni*) is an extinct species of caprine that was found in the Southwestern part of North America during the last ice age. Osteologically, the Harrington was smaller (by a 1/3) than the living mountain goat, *O. americanus*, to which it is related, but with relatively robust feet, a proportionally long but narrow skull, and smaller horns. Apparently it was also less "beardy" than the living North American goat based on finds of hair. This fossil skull is in the collections at Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.
