BIGHORN SHEEP

>>CLOSE

Millions of bighorn sheep once lived in the western U.S. By 1900, though, their numbers were reduced to a few hundred due to market hunting. Bighorn sheep inhabit high, rocky country. The bottoms of their feet are concave, enabling them to walk and run over rocks very easily. Their tan-colored fur hides them against cliff rocks. As bighorns feed, one acts as a lookout. At any hint of danger, all take off after the leader, generally a female, and do not stop until they have climbed as high as they can or passed to the other side of the mountain.
