Mountain Holstein

Hey Fordo!
Hope this message finds you well and in good spirits.
I was watching the Discovery Channel yesterday and found an amazing special on a rare breed of mountain goat / indigenous dog to Middle-Eastern mountain climates, The Mountain Holstein. A private and elusive beast, very little is known about its habits, mannerisms, temperament, or intelligence. Researchers had never before been able to capture the animal on film, relying mostly on firsthand local's accounts, until two months ago when an embedded journalist had the opportunity in an un-disclosed location. The Discovery Chanel featured a 2-hour special and Discovery.com carried feature photos and the journalist's blog entries to match.

The reporter's account consisted mostly of excitement when he first saw and recognized the animal, quickly turning to bewilderment and fear as he got closer. The reporter said "I was amazed by his weight, size, complete lack of grace, yet uninhibited charm."

Thought you would like. Stay Safe. And keep your eyes peeled.
