Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Zoomies!
Here’s an adorable video of Rita, Violet and Amber zooming around Sheep Mountain! Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep are agile climbers that can climb steep, rocky slopes with ease. They can jump seven feet across wide crevices in their rugged habitat and can even turn in mid-air, landing on small ledges of rock. As you can see with Violet and Amber, even young ewes can scamper across rocky terrain! In the wild, this climbing ability helps bighorn sheep escape from predators.
