Rocky Mountain Sheep

Rocky Mountain sheep, specifically the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, are large, wild mammals native to North America's mountainous regions. Known for their impressive curved horns, males, or rams, use them to spar for dominance during mating season. These sheep are well adapted to rugged terrain, with strong legs and a robust build that allows them to navigate steep cliffs and rocky landscapes. They primarily eat grasses, shrubs, and forbs. Social animals, they live in herds and play a vital role in their ecosystem, maintaining vegetation balance and serving as prey for predators like mountain lions.
