A mountain goat is suspected in a hikers death at Olympic National Park. After the mountain goat allegedly harmed the hiker, the 63-year-old man was taken to Port Angeles hospital to be evaluated. The hiker died from wounds inflicted by the mountain goat, just hours after arriving at the hospital.
How would a mountain goat kill a hiker? Was the goat being harassed? It seems strange to have an attack from a deadly attack from a mountain goat, versus a snake or a bear!
The park service of Port Angeles explained that Robert H. Boardman, the hiker, was hurt Saturday as he hiked near the park's Klahhane Ridge and died hours later at a Port Angeles hospital."
The Peninsula Daily News, explained that Boardman had stopped with his wife, and a friend for lunch at the overlook. The mountain goat approched them, and then became aggressive. Next, Boardman shooed him away.
When the hiker and women were leaving Olympic National Park, he was when attacked by the mountain goat. The vicious animal gored the hiker in the thigh. The animal then hovered over Boardman as he lay bleeding. Isnt it strange that the goat would kill someone, and then revel in his killing. Do you think the goat had rabies, maybe?
An off-duty park ranger tried to get the goat to go away, but he stayed looming over Boardman even after he threw rocks at him and shook a safety blanket at the goat.
The park rangers found the mountain goat that was responsible for the hikers death and killed the animal. Very bizarre occurrence to have a mountain goat kill a hiker!
