Bighorn Sheep

// October 29th, 2009 // Mammals, Rocky Mountains, Scenic

Welcome back to my website & thanks for visiting !

It is almost certain that you have seen the Bighorn Sheep if you have visited Jasper National Park or Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. They frequent mineral deposits and can be found alongside roads and sometimes in the middle of roads. The mature rams can also be seen but I have found they are a little more elusive than the females and young. They are beautiful sure-footed animals that have no trouble scaling rather steep mountain sides. I would not consider a trip to the mountains complete without a sighting of the Bighorn Sheep.

Enjoy!
