Mountain goat hooves help them climb the rugged cliffs where they live. Their hoof has special soft rubber-like pads underneath a hard outer lining. The pads work like the soles of hiking boots work for people, only better. They allow the mountain goat to quickly climb up the side of a cliff to escape a mountain lion, or other danger.
