    The goats aren't native to the park. They were introduced to the park in the 1920s. The goats crave salt and cause damage to the park. One hiker was even killed in a goat-inflicted goring incident in October 2010.

    As of August 2021, 525 goats have been removed from the park: 364 goats were relocated and 161 goats were killed.

      In the Mojave (last time I was there anyway) there was a bounty on wild burro.

      You could be an ass bounty hunter.
