North American Wild Sheep

North American wild sheep, primarily the bighorn sheep and California sheep, are native species known for their impressive curved horns and powerful builds. They inhabit rugged mountain ranges and rocky terrains, where their agility helps them escape predators and find food. These sheep are social animals, often forming herds, and are remarkable climbers, capable of scaling steep cliffs. They play an important ecological role by shaping their environment and are valued for their conservation, as some populations have faced threats from disease, habitat loss, and overhunting. Their resilience and adaptability highlight their significance in North America's natural heritage.
