## Species With #Montane

- [Alpine Chamois](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/alpine-chamois/) (*Rupicapra rupicapra*)
  - **Superpower**: Hooves that are excellent for gripping slippery rock, and a habit of fleeing to the hardest places to reach, often with huge leaps.
  - **Danger**: Low | **Conservation**: Least Concern
  - **Soundtrack**: Shantel (Balkan Brass & Romani Folk Riot)
- [Japanese Macaque](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/japanese-macaque/) (*Macaca fuscata*)
  - **Superpower**: Holds its body temperature steady in the cold with no rise in metabolic rate, apparently thanks largely to thick fur, plus hot-spring soaking that may help it keep warm.
  - **Danger**: Medium | **Conservation**: Least Concern
  - **Soundtrack**: Slowdive (Dream Pop & Shoegaze)
- [Nubian Ibex](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/nubian-ibex/) (*Capra nubiana*)
  - **Superpower**: Generally keeps to the most remote, highest, and steepest cliffs, where staying near the edge lowers the risk of predation, and typically comes down only to graze.
  - **Danger**: Low | **Conservation**: Vulnerable
  - **Soundtrack**: Erkin Koray (Anatolian Rock & Levantine Psych)
