*** About Bighorn Sheep: Bighorn sheep are a species of sheep in North America with large, curved horns that are their most distinctive feature. Known for their agility and balance, they usually inhabit rocky, mountainous regions where predation is minimized due to their excellent climbing skills. During the spring, bighorn sheep descend to graze and give birth, making their young vulnerable yet cautiously guarded by their mothers. Their population has fluctuated due to factors like habitat loss and disease, but conservation efforts continue to manage these beautiful creatures and their habitat.
