*** About Bighorn Sheep: Bighorn sheep are a species native to North America, distinguished by their large, curved horns that can weigh up to 30 pounds. These mammals are mainly found in the mountainous regions of the western United States, Canada, and northern Mexico. Adapted to rugged terrain, they exhibit remarkable agility, able to scale steep slopes with incredible precision. Bighorn sheep are social animals, typically seen in herds, though males often roam solo or in small groups. Their diet primarily consists of grasses, and their lifecycle includes a mating season in the fall, where rams engage in head-to-head combat to win mating rights. Conservation efforts over the years have aided in their population recovery, ensuring that these majestic animals continue to thrive in their natural habitats.
