Fun Fact, pictured above appears to be a goat on a mountain, which is NOT a Mountain Goat because Mountain Goats are not goats. Mountain Goats are Antellopes.
Pfft next you’ll tell me water bears aren’t bears
That's right, they are water
"This is cheese sauce. Can you guess what it's made from?"
"Sauce?"
"That's right: Cheese."

The superior mountain goat that's actually a goat:
That's not a goat, that the GOAT.
I got genuinely curious about this goat, so here's the name: Markhor
Friends call him Mark.
That's cool and all, but I'm cheering for the mountain. Geology rocks!
One of the most disappointing facts when learning English was how many different animals are just called goat or deer
like pronghorn antelope, is not an antelope at all, its antilocarpine, sister to the giraffe family. or the american cheetah, is actually a suped up puma relative.
It's a common thing. German loves to call animals pigs or dogs; though it tends to be more obvious in German that these "thorn pigs" and "sea dogs" aren't closely related to regular pigs and dogs.
