what animals live on mountains
Many animals have adapted to survive the bitter cold. Animal life on mountains vary from continent to continent. The animals in the mountains of North America (Canada, USA) include the big horn sheep, mountain goats, brown bear, black bear, grizzly bear, mountain lions and antelope. Further information.
Large mountain animals, such as the Rocky Mountain goat, bighorn sheep, and the ibexes of the Alps are all very sure-footed. They each have specially designed hoofs which enable them to travel over really rough rocky terrain at great speeds, and also to traverse steep cliffs without losing their footing.
