Bighorn sheep

Bighorn sheep are medium-sized wild goats native to North America, known for their impressive, curved horns that can weigh up to 30 pounds. They thrive in rugged mountainous regions, where their agility helps them navigate steep cliffs and rocky terrains. Bighorn sheep are social animals, usually forming groups called herds. They are herbivores, primarily grazing on grasses, shrubs, and herbs. Adapted to harsh environments, they have strong legs and specialized hooves for climbing. Their populations are influenced by factors such as habitat loss, hunting, disease, and competition with domestic livestock.
