That thing that appears like a triangle surrounding the right rear hoof is organic vegetation growing out of the rock. If that isn't what you mean ... point an arrow to the spot !

Well, they call them Mountain Goats, but to me I think them sheep.

Mountain goats have straight horns, mountain sheep have horns that curl around.
It looks like a museum exhibit.

It DOES look like a mounted display. I'd bet that the 'thing' is part of the case.. or maybe holding another animal in place?????

So valley ranch, where did you get this picture? That may answer the question whether it's real or not.

It's a trap...a leg hold trap, possibly, though it looks like it may have teeth, and not a small one as one would use for small fur bearing animals, looks to be the outside edge of a wolf trap.
These next two are leg hold only.
This one is a little more lethal...
This goat is mounted and you can just see the paw of another animal in the display case below the trap...maybe wolf? The vegetation in the pic is not real.
