*** About Bighorn Sheep: Bighorn sheep are iconic residents of North America’s rugged mountains and arid desert landscapes. Known for their impressive, curved horns which can weigh up to 30 pounds, these creatures are not only majestic but are built to navigate their challenging rocky habitat with agility and grace. Males, known as rams, use their horns in dramatic clashes that determine dominance and mating rights. Extremely sure-footed, bighorn sheep can scale steep terrains at speeds that leave predators struggling to keep up. Conservation efforts have been crucial in maintaining populations that were once near extinction, involving careful habitat management and reintroduction projects.
